Why You Should Consider a Board Appointment
Career Development
Whilst some boards remunerate their directors all board appointments offer the opportunity to brand yourself as a non executive director. Equally they demonstrate your strategic expertise and your connections at the highest level.
Additional Income
Whilst some board directors get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars the average paid director gets $35k-$65k and because governing boards are essential to most organisations they are, as such, rarely effected by global financial downturns.
Personal Development
Giving back to an industry, sector or cause you are passionate about drives many directors. So, whether in a commercial or not for profit setting, sitting on a board of an organisation you are passionate about is a terrific way to utilise your skills and experience.
