"The Policy Governance Fieldbook is not a theoretical treatise, buta practical study. Its authors are concerned with real people inreal organizations with real challenges.... It is the first book tostart down what is surely to be a very long road. For thatboldness, I am in its authors' debt. But more importantly, boardseverywhere and those who rely on the integrity of governance--thatmeans all of us--are in their debt as well."

--from the Foreword by John Carver

"Local elected officials and professional staff will find Carver'smodel provocative and intriguing. This practical guide is one ofthe best I have encountered. The useful tips at the And of eachchapter are worth the price of the book."

--John Nalbandian, professor of public administration, Universityof Kansas
