Having worked on and around boards as an executive director, a non-executive director (NED), a boardroom coach and a governance trainer for more than 30 years, I am often asked two questions by CFOs and senior accountants in practice and in industry:

• What difference can I make by being here?

These are excellent questions. You are a busy person and board membership requires a serious investment of your valuable time. You want to be certain that it will be time well spent.
