Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an advisory board and a governing board? An advisory group and an advisory council? Advisory Councils by Nancy Axelrod will help you understand what an advisory council is and how it can benefit your board. Learn different ways these groups may be implemented in order to assist your board in expanding outreach efforts, finding new supporters, incorporating new perspectives, and distributing tasks.
This publication uncovers an often misunderstood need for advisory councils. Discover the multiple functions of these groups and how to move them beyond what is usually assigned. Learn why and how an advisory council provides an expertise or authority that may be lacking on your board.
The book will:
-
Clarify the difference between advisory councils and regular standing committees
-
Provide suggestions on who should serve on your advisory council and how to bring in people from the outside
-
Give guidelines on how and when to disband an advisory council that no longer serves its intended purpose
-
Advise proper and careful communication between the full board and your council
-
Implement helpful case studies to make this abstract group more easy to understand
Use this resource both as a guide in taking your advisory council to its full potential, and as a reminder to hear and use its advice - that is what advisory councils are there for!
