Enhancing the Emergent Capacity of Governance Volunteers: Faith-Based Organizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The project is a continuation of a series of governance research pieces in which the ontological question, “What does it mean to BE a governor?” is explored. This specific project is framed from the point of view of governors of faith-based organizations. Based on a previous governance peer learning research project (Seel, 2006), this project examines how governors of Christian faith-based organizations understand their role as governors. Their perceptions are compared with the perceptions of governors who participated in a peer learning circle project one year previous. That particular group was composed of governors from secular nonprofit organizations. Throughout this report reflections and findings from the two groups, secular and faith, will be compared and contrasted.
