Get Ready for Your First Board of Directors Meeting

You've made it... your first board role!  But now the real work begins. Joining a board of directors, especially for the first time, brings challenges that are much different from just starting a new job.  There is little or no training on how to be an effective corporate member, other than your previous exposure to the boardroom through career roles.   Too often, novice directors face "imposter syndrome" when they first walk through those boardroom doors and have to learn to fit in and make their voice heard.  For younger, diverse directors, the stress is even higher -- how do you handle yourself as the first woman or diverse member of that board?

Our "Get Ready for Your First Board of Directors Meeting" program is designed to start you right in the boardroom. We’ll give you what you actually need to know and what you need to function as an effective director. We’ll cover the essentials of your role as a board member, how to educate yourself from the outside about the company, its structure, and its leaders… how to absorb the huge amount of information a director needs to know today… how to build a board schedule into your busy life… and how to handle yourself in that first board meeting.
