Business Week published this article a few years ago that is very relevant to the mission of The Center for Governance, Ethics, and Accountability. Essentially
, it talks about the increasing scrutiny being placed on the Non-Profit Sector, and the growing number of state governments that have taken, or are taking, action to create and enforce stricter regulations and requirements for non-profit entities. In addition, the Federal Government is taking actions now to move forward with new, stricter requirements for non-profit organizations.
Many non-profit organizations do not even comply with existing regulations and requirements. In fact, many non-profits don't even know there are regulations with which they must comply. The increased scrutiny is making compliance even more critical today, while the stricter regulations make that compliance even more challenging. Our Certification Course is designed to help organizations make sure they comply with existing and forthcoming regulations and requirements. It also allows organizations to demonstrate their commitment to excellence.
If you haven't already, take a few minutes to learn more about our Certification Course. It is affordable and easy to use.
If your organization doesn't comply, there could most certainly be negative consequences; so, save yourself the trouble and make sure you exceed existing and forthcoming regulations by signing up today. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks
Thanks for your comments. I believe that your situation is very common. Many non-profit organizations lack the appropriate policies and procedures to make their board members feel comfortable about serving. Part of our mission is to strengthen non-profit organizations, helping them achieve and demonstrate excellence. We believe this will help board members feel secure and proud about being an active part of the organization, and it will allow the organization to recruit top-notch, engaged board members. I look forward to hearing more from you as we move forward!

Excellent points
Sam, Excellent points. Over my 30-year professional career, I've spent a lot of time on non-profit boards. Last year, I resigned from all of them, fearful of the coming effects of Sarbanes-Oxley to the non-profit world. I really believe that society today is very much in need of the mission-focused approach that non-profits can provide, but I agree with you that a lot of the non-profits will not even know what regulatory requirements apply to them. Your site looks like a good approach to the situation. I shall peruse it and make some follow up comments.
