title: Trustee development comes of age.
abstract: Cursory and sporadic attempts to educate trustees are giving way in many hospitals to systematic programs of board development, encompassing traditional facility orientation, continuing education and information programs, and other efforts to contribute to improved board performance. This article suggests steps for boards to follow in launching a board development program: vehicles for board development: and the composition and responsibilities of the board development committee.
