Non profit management/ board governance

Read Anthony Weston’s Nonprofit Management Case Collection—Anna Fixx (attached) and discuss the following questions:

1. What does TCG’s board owe the membership by way of input to major decisions? What does the board owe the membership by way of expeditious action? Can one of these obligations be said to override the other in general? In this case?
2. Are some inefficiencies and awkwardness in the short term worth the long-term benefits of the democratic processes? Is Cofferswell “short-circuiting” those processes?
3. What should Anna do? What would you do in her position?

Please keep the different models in mind when you discuss these questions (attached).
