      The Company Perspective

      The Business Person Perspective

      “Just like I’ve recognized what I can bring from my company to the board, I also realized that I have more to contribute at my company. At work, sometimes you’re focused on your little piece of the puzzle. But now I see the bigger picture and can talk with peers about solving challenges.”

      “The benefits to my company of expanding the board program would be huge. This is where the creativity and the ability to solve new problems comes from.”

       

      “I”m involved in recruiting Ph.D.s to the company. The current generation has a strong desire to do meaningful things in society, so board service provides an  opportunity for recruiting and retaining. I get questions in interviews because candidates see what other companies are doing.”

       

      “As a board member working in the community, I see challenges that my company can help solve….local and world challenges. This kind of experience makes us better employees. We’re better equipped to innovate, help solve problems.”

       

      “There’s a lot of talent that’s not fully developed or leveraged. You become so much better as a leader when you get practice. When you get the opportunity to observe leaders from other backgrounds and in a variety of settings, you get to develop your own approach.”
