    About this ebook

    For too many decades, America's corporate boards have been filled by a chosen few. Corporate board seats are scarce and competition is fierce. The seats are "by invitation only" and your pursuit can be long, strenuous, and often full of missteps. This book pulls back the curtain on the corporate board selection process and shows you how to land your seat. Chocked full of real-life stories, case studies and how-to's, the book gives you the game plan to earn a coveted spot at the corporate board table. It's your road map for:

    -Testing your readiness
    -Crafting your board search strategy
    -Finding boards that will welcome you
    -Attracting boards to you
    -Networking with influencers
    -Acing your board interviews
    -Vetting your board invitation

    Because women are invaluable to any board's success, the book has a special strategy chapter that teaches the essential skills women need to capture their seat.
