The role of board secretary in the voluntary sector is often one which is additional to other responsibilities — you may have inherited it as part of your current responsibilities or subsequently had it tacked on to your main role.
Either way it can be an area which is vitally important but can be a minefield for the uninitiated and where expert guidance is essential.
This handbook tells you what a board secretary is and why you need one. It explains the roles, duties and responsibilities depending on your type of organisation and how an effective board and robust governance depends on having a top board secretary.
