This collection combines two important endeavors. First, in various pieces evidence about the behavior and performance of non-profit boards is reviewed and important additional evidence is presented. Noting the disparity between reality and widely-accepted beliefs is a long and necessary role for empirical researchers. The second endeavor in this collection is to present useful and realistic ideas and techniques for improving board functioning and board-staff relations. Nearly all the pieces have implicit or explicit applications.

Abstract: This conference examined emerging models and approaches to health and human services. Part I addresses issues of management in nonprofit organizations (changing roles of private/nonprofit organizations, board-staff relationships, legal issues and high-tech computerization). Part II deals with economics and the not-for-profit sector (contracting, private-nonprofit relationships, and "new economics"). Part III provides a broader perspective on social movements and community development (definition, transformation, and relationship between ideals and action). Part IV focuses on public policy research in the nonprofit sector (joint venturing, strategic marketing, and franchising). Part V presents models for volunteering in health and human services (training, evaluation and development). Part VI raises a number of key ethical and philosophical issues in health and human services (compatibility of democracy and bureaucracy, ethnics of not-for-profit managers, and moral reasoning of human service professionals)
