Overview

Are you interested in serving on a corporate board, but aren’t sure how to begin the process? Have you already started your board journey, but would like to be more effective in your efforts? Or is becoming a director something you’d like to pursue in the future, but want to know what you can start doing now that will be helpful?

Join PDA NY Metro and Financial Executives International (FEI) NYC for a panel discussion that will bring varying perspectives on the board search process.

Learn about key skills/expertise public and private companies seek from finance professionals today when filling board positions. Hear from those who’ve successfully landed a board seat, as well as those involved in board search, about how to position yourself optimally as you go through the board search process.
