[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a relatively new c-level (think:CIO) and am interested in joining a board or two at some point in the future. No rush, as my day job keeps me busy and interested enough. And I don't want to appear distracted. In the meantime, I'd like to do what I can to prepare myself both for the role and to be a more compelling candidate. I have a couple questions. 1) Are prep courses worthwhile? I see that HBS, Kellogg, etc offer courses. Has anybody attended them? 2) Is a certification worthwhile? I was recommended https://certification.nacdonline.org/ , but I have no real insight into whether that a legit thing or not. 3) How does one position themselves for a board position? Networking, obviously, but do you just wait for serendipity or go out and actively pursue them? Thanks in advance! [/quote] I think networking, volunteering, philanthropy get you noticed. I serve on 3 and all of them came about from volunteering in some capacity.[/quote]
