Key Takeaways

• Engage in outreach and conversations to let people know you are looking and then listening to functionality that is expected

• Study up on areas you don’t have deep knowledge while also identifying what you bring from an operational perspective

• Be innovative and draw on your skillsets/unique attributes

• Facilitate diversity by first identifying what may be missing and then pulling together a diverse slate of candidates

• Really prepare yourself – understand what boards are looking for and educate yourself to fulfill those roles
