Creating a Winning Professional Brand for Your Board Journey

Overview

The PDA Wisconsin and New York Metro Chapters are excited to present this opportunity to learn invaluable insights to aid you in your board journey.

You’ve probably been told to have a compelling ‘elevator pitch,’ board bio, CV and LinkedIn profile to accelerate your board journey. But what makes your board story and materials compelling and memorable? How do you stand out from a crowd of candidates? How do you come to mind as soon as an opportunity arises? How can you ensure your name is mentioned when you’re not in the room, for the most number of opportunities? 

 Join board advisor Tissa Richards for this highly interactive session and learn

• What makes the most compelling, memorable board story
• How to create a crisp, concise value proposition
• Tips to refresh (or create) your board materials and LinkedIn
• How to stand out from the crowd of candidates
• How to activate your network to scale and accelerate your board journey

Tissa has guided hundreds of people to public and private board positions. In this highly interactive session, she will share examples of value propositions and materials that rapidly propel clients into public and private board roles. Come with questions!

Richard Longabaugh Interim Executive, Board Member

Rich has held executive leadership roles in non-profit, government, retail and higher education enhanced with more than 12 years in executive search. His business philosophy is to hire the best people available, push decision making to the lowest level possible, remove the obstacles that get in the way of managers and assume the first mistake anyone makes is his. Experience has taught that the collective wisdom of people with diverse perspectives yields better decisions. In other words, the group is smarter than any individual. Having been a CEO, he can empathize with the pressures, vulnerability and loneliness that can haunt a business owner or C-suite executive.

Community and volunteer activities are an important part of his DNA and have included working with unemployed adults as a Moderator for 40 Plus, an Event Manager for Gathering on the Green, a veteran nail pounder for Habitat for Humanity, a fundraiser for his local PBS station and a church Elder.

He serves on the Executive Council (Board) of the Wisconsin Chapter of the Private Directors Association and as Co-Chair of the Program Committee..
