We've had the same conversation with dozens of C-suite executives lately: "I've been trying to land a board seat for two years and I'm not getting anywhere.
Here's the thing, being qualified for a board and being positioned to land one are two completely different challenges. And most executives are solving the wrong problem. If 2026 is your year to land a board seat, we need to talk about what happens between now and then. Board recruitment doesn't work on your timeline, it works on search timelines, fiscal calendars, and relationship development cycles that take months, not weeks.
Join Michelle Merritt and Debra Boggs for straight talk about:
- What's actually happening in board recruitment right now
- The positioning mistakes we see smart executives making
- How board networking is different from executive networking (and why that matters)
- The uncomfortable truths about board diversity initiatives and what they mean for your strategy
- Why starting now matters if you want to be competitive in 2026
