Board members prepare and adhere to a sound strategic plan that
provides measurable goals and ensures ongoing financial resources to

organizational events. They talk with staff members and clients, and
sound out problems that need fixing or issues that must be addressed.

ready to discuss concerns, questions and disagreements about
organizational methods and goals.

- Scrutiny. Board members audit their records regularly and in detail.
- Knowledge.
