However... if you need help with an unruly or disorganized board, this book will NOT work for you. Joyce Stephens assumes that your board runs correctly and that you have such things as a parlimentarian on board. She even has a section on chosing the proper gavel. If your board lacks direction or does not function properly, this book will not help you run a successful meeting. But for newly elected presidents, this book can impart some very helpful information that should put anyone at ease right from the first board meeting.
