Why You Should Consider a Board Appointment
Below are just a few of the reasons you should consider a board appointment or developing a board career! Beyond these, and regardless of where you are in your career, studies have shown that people that hold Board Directorships are: more appointable, earn more, are unemployed less, have better networks and connections, they are also able to better future proof their careers, are likely to have more successful retirements and weather unexpected career changes strongly than those who don’t.
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.
Regardless of whether you are an experienced Director or just starting your board career, there are some simple things we can do that will: make you more appointable; separate yourself from your competitors and; help you gain you the appointment that you want far quicker than you might imagine.
