On June 19, 2017, John Bruce and Sherry S Jennings discussed how the board learns its role as part of a non profit organization.

This was part of the Xylem-Groups continuing exploration of issues related to non profit governing.

Board members often have expectations of what it means to be a board member that conflict with their real fiduciary responsibilities.

John talks about how boar members are selected and suggests that the process of inducting a new board member could include learning more about the role of the board.

This format includes a chat room. Two members of the Xylem Group were contributing to the conversation, and both John and Sherry referred to those comments.
