Board Recruitment, Development & Decisions-Making

Success Story Business Education Council of Niagara

“The higher the profile and community leverage the Board has, the more the credibility of the organization is enhanced. The Business Education Council of Niagara recruits the highest level executives possible from business and education. The Board consists of the two Directors of Education, Vice Presidents from the College and University, and ten senior business executives and entrepreneurs. We also look for Board Members who are also Board members of other major institutions and community organizations in the community. This enables more productive partnerships since they carry the BEC message to other organizations and theirs to us. Having this level of representation makes it much easier to recruit new members.”

Food For Thought

If you have a bigger Board, is everyone really engaged?  Is it better to have a smaller Board of all fully-engaged people, or a bigger Board that may be more representative of the community, but in which not all are contributing?
