Dr. Steve Percy, director of the Center for Urban Initiatives and Research and a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, worked with Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund to analyze the self-assessments of 568 Board Directors representing 43 local nonprofits. Their discussion provides useful insights for Boards and nonprofit organizations everywhere.
