The Program

Board service, made accessible.

Many accomplished professionals have exactly the judgment and experience boards need, they just don't have a clear path in. This program, led by Mark A. Pfister (IBDC.D), closes that gap: preparing you to present as board-ready and connecting you to real board opportunities.

Who benefits from this Education & Certification Course?

  • Aspiring Directors looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Board operations, decisioning processes, and structures.
  • Experienced Directors with the desire to increase their own knowledge above what they have experienced as well as elevate and apply modern concepts to the Boards they serve.
  • Any level of Director (aspiring to experienced) looking to fully understand modern Board Director Candidate 'packaging' and marketing to land additional or their first Board seat(s).

What you'll take away

  • The credential and approach to be taken seriously by nominating committees
