Considering a Board Search? Don't Miss This eBook

Published on January 20, 2023

The road to a board director role differs from the road to a new executive role. While there is some overlap, it’s important to remember: board search ≠ job search.

Boards seek directors who bring targeted expertise, sound judgment and a collaborative mindset— not just leadership experience.

Landing a board seat requires:

  • Patience. Opportunities unfold over months, not weeks.
  • Preparation. Board service demands time, governance, understanding and strategic thinking.
  • Positioning. Your personal brand must reflect what boards value most.
