Board Member Vacancies Are Rising, But Only the Prepared Get Invited
Board Recruiters Aren’t Judging Competence; They’re Judging Readiness.
Here’s where most qualified leaders lose momentum:
Common Gap
Résumé shows execution, not oversight
No online footprint
No access to governance networks
Weak articulation of board value
Why It Matters
Boards hire judgment, not deliverables
Perceived as disengaged or unavailable
Out of sight means off the shortlist
Recruiters can’t see fit or contribution
