SARTA's Leadership Series Presents: Leveraging Your Board of Directors
Wednesday May 21, 2008 9:00am-10:30am
McClellan Technology Incubator

Course Overview:
Historically, those investing the most money took the Board seats of a given company as a condition of their investment. The "watchful eye" scenario has played itself out for years in Board rooms across the country. Whether qualified to strategically direct or not, there they are; the suits empty as they may be......Whether saddled with such burdens or having those that are qualified, the CEO and management team must properly get "real" work from their Boards on a variety of fronts.

Fund raising, governance, compensation, staff development, customer development, market segmentation, etc. are all areas where an engaged Board might find a useful role. Just how then do you get this entitled bunch to do real work for a living.....

Who should attend:

• President, CEO
• CFO, VP Sales, VP HR, VP Engineering
• Investors for their portfolio companies
• Other Senior Executive team members
