Boards Help Sheets Part 10 - Board/Staff/Volunteers - Managing the Relationships

The Board and the "workers" (the staff and the volunteers) have separate and distinct roles, but are all integral to the success of the community organisation they serve. Managing the relationships effectively are imperative to the group's efficient and effective functioning.

• How do the roles of the Board and the staff/volunteers differ?
• How can the relationships be managed more effectively?
• What can we do if it all goes pear-shaped?

These help sheets will help you answer these questions and ensure that all sections of your community group - its mind and its body - work together towards the same aim.

We will be adding new help sheets regularly so keep coming back to check out the latest tools and resources to help strengthen your Board and yourself as a Board member.
