| Abstract: | In this paper, the results of a longitudinal complete member researcher participant observer study are presented concerning two nonprofit association boards (henceforth as: brd./brds.) with particular reference to their internal corporate governance (as: c-g.) processes. The inductive analysis reveals brds. proactively managing director recruitment and selection, brd. member terms and rotation, with a strong emphasis on brd. membership diversity and representation. A clear progression from informal to formal processes of brd. and director performance evaluation are found, and a variability in board-CEO relationships is explored. Agenda structuring changes are found to directly impact on strategy and policy focus, while informality and humour emerge as key weapons in the cohesion maintenance. Boardroom culture emerges as a potent ingredient in the c-g. process. |
