KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building Connections: Start by deliberately building connections with people already on boards to increase your chances of joining a board.
• Knowledge: Gain awareness of key themes like ESG and diversity to speak the language and understand board governance.
• Profile: Update your profile to reflect your board involvement, which can change how your network perceives you and open up new opportunities.
• Value: Focus on delivering value as a board member by thinking holistically about the business and finding ways to contribute effectively.
• Progression: Approach board positions as stepping stones, starting with advisory roles and apprentice boards to gain experience and build credibility before moving up to larger boards.
