EVIDENCE & PERSPECTIVES SERIES:
“How to Get on a Board?”
January 26, 2010

Serving on a board of directors is an honor and a tremendous responsibility. It is the preeminent recognition of one’s experience, accomplishments and capabilities and of an individual’s potential to contribute to the strategic goals of an enterprise. Boards seek qualified individuals who demonstrate sound judgment, high ethical standards and the ability to work in a collegial fashion even when not in agreement.

Becoming a board member requires a large investment of time to network and obtain specialized knowledge to understand best practices in corporate governance. Our panel of experts will provide practical advice that will increase your chances of being chosen to serve on a board and your ability to perform successfully.

Our panelists, James Kristie, Editor and Associate Publisher of Directors & Boards, Steve Zarrilli, Senior VP and CFO of SafeGuard Scientifics, Inc, and Theodore L. Dysart, Managing Partner, Heidrick & Struggles will provide valuable insights from their unique perspectives on obtaining a board seat. This program will be moderated by Dr. Ralph A. Walkling, Stratakis Chair and Executive Director of the Drexel University Center for Corporate Governance.
