PROGRAM PARTNERS

The goal of Corporate Board Member Network’s Director Fundamentals Program is to accelerate an executive’s path to securing their first public company board seat, and equip them with the tools and educational resources to be an effective boardroom leader upon placement. Partnering with leading corporate governance organizations enables us to offer program participants unique opportunities that support our mission, and work together through a common goal to serve the community of aspiring directors.
