Appointment Referral Services
Boardroom Bound® makes every effort to create board appointment opportunities for our pre-qualified director-candidates in the for-profit marketplace. We work to raise the consciousness level of organizations to the necessity to diversify their boards and be more reflective of the communities
and populations they represent and serve.
Appointment opportunities may vary, they call for fiduciary responsibility, personal liability, and probably require a significant time commitment. The appointment may be in a small or mid-sized, little known firm or a large, prestigious, publicly held enterprise. Regardless, we will assist each candidate in evaluating their needs against the requirements of a prospective company.
Appointment opportunities will be presented to candidates pre-qualified by Boardroom Bound only, and no candidate will be obligated to accept any role or Appointment Referral presented.
Procedure
* Prospective Companies will contact the Boardroom Bound Appointments Division Director via email or by phone.
* The Company will present an overview of the firm and its vision for its board or the structure and constituency of its current board.
* The Company will provide a clear and precise description of the qualifications and attributes required of each new member of its board.
* Financial information, as to gross revenue, number of employees, size of current board, etc. will be ascertained from the Company for future reference should a placement ensue.
* Boardroom Bound Appointments Division will review the requirements of the Company and our National Candidate Database.
