There are plentiful resources available for Board members to learn how to be good Board members. Your Secretary of State or Attorney General, where you must register and submit your bee club's annual reports, has guides for Nonprofit Board members. These Guides for Board members are readable, and advise your group how to be responsible and legal. "The responsibilities center on paying attention, being good stewards, and acting in the best interest of theorganization. Board members are guardians of the trust, serving on behalf of the community, regardless of personal interests. These duties apply whether or not the group is formally incorporated. They apply whenever an organization presents itself to the public as honoring or advancing a charitable cause. Trustees have the same obligations to their organization whether the group's budget is $100 or $100 million."
