The Harbor House Playbooks for Nonprofit Leaders series is a collection of practical, story-driven books for nonprofit and mission-driven leaders who want boards that actually work. Using the fictional world of Harbor House, each book tackles real governance challenges with clear tools, honest insight, and plain language. These are books for executive directors, board chairs, pastors, and social sector leaders who are tired of stuck meetings, unclear roles, and weak accountability, and want boards that protect mission, build trust, and drive results.

Unlost Boards helps nonprofit boards and executive directors get unstuck.

This book offers a better way: a simple governance framework, practical tools, and clear next steps to help boards protect mission, build trust, and drive results. Built for small and mid-sized nonprofits, it is honest, useful, and easy to put to work right away.
