Board Leader / Chair

The role of an independent board leader — be it an independent chair, lead director or presiding director — is integral to the effectiveness and success of the board. The leader serves not only as a key liaison between management and the board, but also helps set the tone, culture and focus of the board.

Their leadership is pivotal in fostering collaboration, encouraging accountability and ensuring that the board fulfills its fiduciary responsibilities. Having a set of resources can help equip them with the insights and relationship-building tools necessary to thrive in their role, driving sustained effective board governance.
