The Truth About What Nonprofit Boards Want

One of the fastest ways to grow your career and grow a great community is to serve on a nonprofit board.

"The Truth About What Nonprofit Boards Want: The Nine Little Things That Matter Most" is the first book by June Bradham, a fundraiser with over 30 years of experience working with boards from colleges and universities to multi-hospital systems throughout the country.

The Truth is a must read for every executive and fundraiser who wonders how to attract and retain passionate and generous board members. Just listen to the Truth: stories from the mouths of high value volunteer leaders uncovered during extensive interviews with board members from around the world. The insight offered by these visionary leaders combined with June's decades of fundraising experience draw back the curtain on what really makes board members tick--and give.

What industry experts are saying about The Truth:

“At once, The Truth is refreshingly candid and deeply insightful. June Bradham is without peer in her ability to understand volunteer boards, and this understanding creates for us all more meaningful relationships and far more successful organizations. All boards and staff can use this book well...and for good.”

“The Truth does an outstanding job of dispelling the myths about working with boards that can often jeopardize our fundraising success. The stories are compelling and should serve as a ‘textbook’ for all of us who rely on the involvement and commitment of our board members to raise funds.”
