A board of directors is responsible for providing oversight of a company and its governance practices, and provides support for the strategies proposed by the management. They also ensure that the company is operating legally and in the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. The board can be composed from a mix of outsiders and insiders, each of them elected for a specific period of time. The ideal board is diverse, well-rounded and has a wide spectrum of experience, skills and backgrounds. They should embody the organization’s essential values and show dedication to the organization’s mission.

In addition to providing leadership and governance expertise, boards should be willing to accept risks and make difficult decisions. They must also display an understanding of their fiduciary responsibilities and demonstrate the ability to work in a collaborative manner. They must be able to communicate the strategic direction and vision of their organization and know how to develop and implement an action plan.

Boards need to be ready to quickly react to changes in the business and social situations. They should be proactive in their approach to risk and opportunity management and management of talent corporate finance, CEO succession planning, organizational culture and brand awareness for the community, and outreach, as well as fundraising.

One way to create a solid board of directors is by establishing a database of qualified potential candidates and inviting them to apply for positions as soon as openings arise. It’s as easy as posting a job announcement on LinkedIn or distributing an email announcement.
