Many civic minded individuals find themselves serving on one or more boards of non-profit organizations. Unlike corporate board positions which are paid, non-profit board members typically serve on a volunteer basis. When agreeing to serve, incoming board members usually receive a written or verbal explanation of responsibilities and expectations. Although most board members are passionate about the mission of the organization and are generous with their time and energy, occasionally expectations are unclear or, for personal reasons, board members are unable to fulfill their responsibilities. In this case, coaching these members can be delicate.
