Preview Entrusted: The Moral Responsibilities of Trusteeship

Description:
“Thoughtful essays on the morality, obligations, practice, and virtues of trusteeship.” —ARNOVA NewsIn Entrusted, David H. Smith offers some ideas and raises some issues that may put trusteeship into perspective. The main idea presented in these pages is that trustees should be reflective, that the board should be a community of inquiry, more precisely, a community of interpretation. And, because the trustee’s historically and currently important role has been little studied by moralists, philosophers, or theologians, moral issues associated with nonprofit governance have fallen into the cracks. This book serves to suggest the need for academically sophisticated discussions of the moral parameters of trusteeship, studies that will go beyond and improve on this attempt.“Entrusted provides a much-needed contribution to the literature on ethics in the healthcare arena.” —Health Progress“A splendid and invaluable book, one every trustee with an active conscience would want to read and one every trustee with a dormant conscience ought to read.” —Richard Chait, Center for Higher Education Governance and Leadership“[Smith’s] contribution breaks some new and difficult ground by helping us to think beyond the routine and mundane dimensions of trusteeship.” —Academe“Essential reading for trustees.” —Ethics“Entrusted should be required reading for trustees of any not-for-profit.” —Advancing Philanthropy
