Staff Pick "In these complex times, trustees need to be armed with their best critical thinking skills." — Debra Wilson NAIS Legal Counsel

This booklet, the first in the Independent School Trustees' Series, addresses trustees' major areas of responsibility, ranging from compliance with the spirit of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to standards of conduct and duties, to conflicts of interest. It covers state and federal laws that affect nonprofits like schools, as well as governance practices not mandated by law. This booklet covers such topics as the audit committee, trustee term limits, and parent trustees. The appendix offers a sample conflict-of-interest policy.
