Boyden’s recent webinar provides practical insights for Non-Executive Directors preparing to take the next step into Board Chair roles.
Transitioning from a Non-Executive Director to a Chair is one of the most significant shifts in board leadership — requiring not only governance expertise but also strategic influence, relationship management, and the ability to guide collective decision-making.
On October 21, Boyden hosted a webinar featuring Ilana Atlas, an experienced Board Chair and governance expert, in conversation with Boyden’s board search specialists Allan Marks and Peter Blair. Together, they explored what boards look for when appointing a Chair, how to position yourself for leadership opportunities, and the mindset and skills required to lead a board effectively.
This discussion offers valuable perspective for directors seeking to elevate their board careers, combining practical advice with first-hand insights from a highly successful Board Chair who has successfully navigated the transition.
