New on the board? This is what you need to know

Being asked to join a board of directors is a vote of confidence. But it is also worth considering that this involves a lot of responsibility. There are several things you should be aware of and consider carefully before ACCEPTING.

SOME QUESTIONS IT MAY BE WORTH CONSIDERING:

• Am I willing to take on the great responsibility involved in being a board member?
• What is the company’s risk position and how could this affect me?
• Does the company have a good board process?
• Does the company take security seriously?
