Centerboard: Hire a Leader and Get Out of the Way!: What's an executive board's most important function? Approving and monitoring the budget? Setting policy? Raising support? Representing the PCC before the community?
All of these are important, but one other responsibility is absolutely critical to a ministry's success or failure. Hiring the chief executive!
Why is that? Because this is the only employee the board directly hires and supervises, and because he or she will be the one to hire and oversee all other staff — including volunteers. This is true whether the chief executive is paid or unpaid. Sadly, this is an area where many boards fail.
