Board Member Seats Available

My friend, Ms. Dinah Rae is a board member of one of the most organization in their place. She once told me that being a board member is both challenging and rewarding. A board member’s responsibilities are determined by the powers and duties delegated to it or conferred on it by an authority outside itself. An average board seat requires approximately at least 200 hours of work per year. It is said that 75% of all companies pay an honorarium meeting fee for each board meeting attended. These payments may range anywhere from $500 to $5000 per meeting. As an over-all rate, being a board member gains large advantage both in profession and monetary status. LIGHTSHIP RESEARCH needs thousands of board seats to be filled.

The board is responsible for planning the long-term future of a corporation and work side by side with management. Together, the board and the management strive to align long-term goals and the company’s vision with attainable short-term objectives. The board will often work closely with the CEO - the relationship between board members and the CEO/management team is complex and very important. Before even considering accepting a board seat, you may want to ask yourself:
.
• Do I believe in the cause/vision of this organization?
..Am I at the particular stage of my life to add the responsibilities of board membership?
• What can I personally contribute to the board?
• What do I hope to gain from being a member of the board?
