The best resource that I have ever seen is "Effective Organizations" - a
Consultants Resource from the SKILLS program for management volunteers -
contact your Ministry responsible for fitness, sport, recreation,
culture, citizenship OR the national SKILLS office in Ottawa.  It has
good concise descriptions of the elements, examples and tools/worksheets
to develop your own and reference for more information.
