Readers' Reviews

Excerpted from "Benefits of Policies"
In looking at the benefits of policies, and in considering the various definitions and descriptions of policies outlined above, four general purposes or types of policies emerge as central to our work in volunteer programs:

  • policy as a statement of belief/position/value
  • policy as a method of risk management
  • policy as a rule
  • policy as an aid to program effectiveness
