Thus, second, it is a handbook within a handbook. The title page, this page and a few others (as noted) are elements of the first manual and must be removed from the second handbook. The second handbook should speak only to new board members. Any references from the first manual that speak to the producers of the organization’s handbook for new board members could be confusing. Where relevant, this manual will notate which references should be removed.  \nThis handbook will assist small EBMOs to transition towards more structured and formal governance measures. It contains information about the business of representing business and general best practices for EBMO governance.  \nThe people whom an EBMO aims to bring onto its board will be self-starters, motivated to take on new challenges. The purpose of a simple onboarding handbook is to direct that motivation into advancing the work of the board rather than losing time while a new member figures out how the board works.  \nThe onboarding handbook must b","cbCaiiOcs70aGPUV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiOcs70aGPUV","pdf",1183390,36,"English","# Guidance for organizations when onboarding new board members\n## Living document and updating approach\n## Onboarding workshop recommendation\n# Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the handbook for new board members in an EBMO?\",\"answer\":\"It directs new board members’ motivation toward advancing board work, helping them understand how the board operates without wasting time.\"},{\"question\":\"Why must some parts of the handbook be removed when tailoring it for internal use?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook is also built as a “handbook within a handbook,” so elements meant for producers in the first manual can confuse new board members; those elements should be removed.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the onboarding handbook be maintained over time?\",\"answer\":\"It must be treated as a living document and updated whenever policies and procedures change, ideally using a loose-leaf format or an electronic version if feasible.\"}]","Onboarding handbook for board members of small employer and business membership organizations - Guidance and acknowledgements | PDF",91]
