This post is motivated by series of complaints and crises that engulf many clubs, town meetings, churches, mosques in Nigeria due to lack of understanding of the roles of the board of trustees.

Why You Need Board of Trustees for NGO-Church-Club – Founding Fathers:
The board of trustees of your club, town meetings, and other NGOs are mostly the founding fathers of the organisations. They are the ones that caught the vision for establishing the organisation. As such, they render fatherly advice from time to time. They serve as role models. In fact, many of them serve as ‘mentors’ for the membership.
This class of your club and meeting membership are the embodiment of the spirit, rules and regulations of the organisation. They are the custodian of the organisation’s documents. They help you carry out your banking and other statutory assignments.
To get the best from this class of your membership, you must try to pick reliable and trustworthy individuals. The younger they are the better. This is because, they will soon grow older. In addition, pick from diversified talents, professions of the membership. This will help you to organise the management structure of your organisation along what these trustee members can handle or lead.
Why You Need Board of Trustees for NGO-Church-Club – Incorporation and Changes:
As I have mentioned above, while incorporating your NGO – club, church, meeting etc. you must endeavour to take the eligibility criteria as enumerated above, of your trustee members, into consideration. If you know that time matters, then you will understand that middle-aged ones today will be very old and inactive very soon. So choosing younger ones will be better. Again, choosing your board members from specialists will also pay you better.
I hold this view because by experience, I have found out that it’ a costly thing to make changes in NGO incorporated documents. Next time check your club, meeting certificates, you will notice that the certificates are issued in the name of the trustees. One particular implication is that to make any changes on this certificate will involve issuing another certificate. And, doing that means you will start newspaper publications again, regularise your annual returns, update all other documents and pay all required statutory fees again. How do you see it? This is why many NGOs can’t replace their diseased board of trustee members easily.
