FAQ
Those Who Lack Objectivity If you can't take a step back and look at the big picture, you're not going to be an effective board member. You need to be able to objectively assess a company's performance and make decisions that are in the best interests of the company, not just yourself or your friends on the board.
In some cases, the CEO may be able to effectively control the board of directors and use it to further his own interests rather than those of the shareholders. This can lead to a situation where the CEO is effectively above the board of directors.
All corporations, regardless of the state, must have a shareholder-elected Board of Directors. An LLC is not required to have a Board of Directors, but can adopt this form of management if the members (the owners of the LLC) choose to do so.
It depends on the organization's bylaws and governing structure. The CEO may or may not be a member of the board of directors, and the board of directors may or may not have veto power over the CEO's decisions.
Often, the CEO will also be designated as the company's president and, therefore, be one of the inside directors on the board (if not the chair). However, it is highly suggested that a company's CEO should not also be the company's chair to ensure the chair's independence and clear lines of authority.
In most large corporate entities, the CEO will report into a board of directors, however many entrepreneurs do call themselves a CEO without a BOD, so are they right to be a “chief” of other officers? This is an important point to highlight as many use the title of Founder/Owner and CEO interchangeably.
You can use an executive search firm which specializes in board members or ask your investors, advisors, or other entrepreneurs for suggestions. Your board members are optimally people that you wish you could hire for the company, that are truly out of reach otherwise.
Every nonprofit has its own board recruitment process. After learning about the organization, consider reaching out to the chief executive, chair or board governance committee chair to indicate your interest in joining their board. It's important to understand their board member expectations and commitment.
