Landing a board seat is highly competitive and takes time.
The board search process, as well as how you position and brand yourself as a new or experienced director, is different than how you do so for a job search. Understanding what goes into each will contribute to your success in landing one of the coveted seats at the table.
Stand out from the competition. Show that you’re a strong board director candidate with:
- A personal brand that consistently communicates the value you bring to the boardroom;
- Board materials -- resume, bio and LinkedIn profile -- that convey your experience and expertise optimally;
- Skills to introduce yourself and tell your story in a board-relevant way.
