Effective Orchestra Governance: A Guide for Boards<\/em> is a book from the League of American Orchestras, filled with smart, succinct advice and free for members to download. (The League mailed a hard copy in June 2016 to member orchestra board chairs and executive directors.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jesse Rosen, the League\u2019s former President and CEO writes in the foreword, \u201cWe are fortunate to bring forward the expert voices of Ellen Hirzy<\/strong><\/a>, Lowell Noteboom<\/strong><\/a>, and David Nygren<\/strong><\/a>, that combine to convey governance guidance that is both grounded in the most recent research and practice, and field-tested against the reality of orchestras in the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book is just one recent example of the League\u2019s many resources designed to support orchestra board members and excellence in governance practice. I hope it will be useful, and I encourage readers to take advantage of all the resources we have available through our Noteboom Governance Center<\/a><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
