What motivates some people to be on not for profit boards?

So...Podcast John Mckenna

You can never over emphasize the importance of compassion and humanity, especially when it's a not for profit organisation, where outcomes are measured by the quality of people's lives. Yes, organisations should have a Vision and Mission that feeds a strategic plan, but it shouldn't override the purpose of fairness and human rights. Dorothy, Geoff and Graeme give their unique perspective on how important it is to weave Human Values into Good Governance Dorothy Graff Dorothy Graff's consultancy, Career Futures, provides career coaching for people seeking to make a significant job move either voluntarily or through retrenchment.
