I just forwarded it to 3 people. It is a very concise summary of the best way to build a committed board. That said, I must also note that our director has sometimes insisted on pursuing people when I have felt that it had become pointless - with very good results. Obviously, there are exceptions to every good process. Strangely, I sit on the board of a social service organization and came home from a meeting tonight seriously considering resigning. My reason? I thought to myself, "I'm just not that into it!" Then I sat down at my computer and saw this. Funny coincidence. Thank you for letting your entire constituency see this message.
