title: Wanted: strong trustees for strong boards.
abstract: Board members hold in trust the welfare of voluntary organizations and are also responsible for the broad direction of the institutions they serve. They must be highly qualified, willing, and capable individuals who can formulate institutional policy in such a way that they eschew the extremes of mere validation on the one hand and usurpation of administrative authority on the other.
