What Do Top-Flight Board Members Want?

"Current board makeup is the number-one reason a top flight candidate will agree to consider board service - or will not. Serving on a board is, after all, a voluntary activity. The experience has the opportunity to be satisfying and inspiring...the key is that everyone at the table contributes and shares the load. What they say they want: connections to smart, accomplished, energetic people that they may already know or those they would like to know."
