You have been asked, nominated, elected, or appointed to serve on the board of your local church or a faith-based organization. You are honored that you have been asked. As you process the invitation, you begin to think about the organization in which you have been asked to serve. Why do they want me to serve? Is it because of my expertise?

About the Book
Author Jerry W. Storz’s experiences with board service and all things board governance goes back to his childhood, watching his parents deal with the joys and struggles of service as church board members for a small church. Eventually he made a career out of working with faith-based organizations, where he found that some board members knew their roles and responsibilities, while others clearly did not understand.
As a response to his observations, Storz presents Thirty Days to Better Board Members and Meetings, intended for use as a devotional and discussion guide. He has studied faith-based board members’ behavior and now offers both nuggets of truth from scripture and board governance tips that he has gathered over these last few years. What’s more, he aims to bring the two together, allowing board members to learn and apply board principles and best practices so that they begin to see the true purpose of their board member service.
Uplifting and practical, this devotional serves as a guide to board members of faith-based organizations to help them improve their leadership and service.
