To qualify every citizen to serve on the board of directors of a nonprofit organization.

(Because the likelihood that you will be asked to serve on a board or that you will want to start a nonprofit is very high, so you should be prepared).
The training you wish you had before you joined the board.
The discussion you need now that you're on the board.
