If your board governance committee is seeking a handy guide for developing a board orientation, otherwise referred to as the on-boarding process, the Board Member Orientation by Michael E. Batts would not be my first or even third go-to source. Your first source to learn about developing your on-boarding plan might instead be BoardSource's web introduction to this subject (https://boardsource.org/fundamental-topics-of-nonprofit-board-service/composition-recruitment/board-recruitment/orient-develop-members/). With this link you can get a helpful overview and there are links to both fee and free resources.
But I do want to talk a bit more about Batts' book. To get what you came for, a how-to guide for on-boarding, when purchasing this book, proceed to page 70 (of this 85-page book). I quote:
Step 1 - have board members read Chapters 1-9 (which more or less provides a generic what is it all about to be a nonprofit board member)
Step 2 - provide board members with the organization's governing documents (a list is provided on page 71)
Step 3 - get all the members to talk about the Discussion Question (page 72-82)
And you are done (listed as Step 4 but I would offer that "done" is not a step)!
Seriously folks, in my opinion: on-boarding is not a one-off activity - it begins with an introduction to the members and the organization but continues throughout the year helping members adapt to the culture, language, matters and relationships that is the make-up of a nonprofit board. But back to orientation day 1, yes, Mr. Batts' questions certainly cover the ground of what a board member would want to know but an on-boarding activity can't just be about reciting the fact about an organization - these are adult learners we are talking about in addition to team building and relationship development. Mr. Batts' completely misses the importance and role of these elements.
Bottom line: if you care about bringing new members into the fold, providing them with a welcome and getting them ready to do business, don't start with Mr. Batts' book. Think first relationships (in recognition of the reality that boards are relational and transactional an relational informs transactional).
PS. Mr. Betts' also has serious issues with Sarbanes-Oxley and how much it does or doesn't apply to nonprofits. Please refer to Guidestar for a correct understanding of Sarbanes-Oxley as it applies to nonprofits. A) there are provisions that do apply and B) failure to understand these provisions could have serious consequences for a nonprofit that fails to observe these provisions. https://www.guidestar.org/Articles.aspx?path=/rxa/news/articles/2003/sarbanes-oxley-act-and-implications-for-nonprofit-organizations.aspx
