Frequently Asked Questions
What fees are associated with this service?
DirectorSelect is a service provided free of charge to corporate boards – there are no fees for interviewing or electing our clients.
If you are interested in traditional board search services, we bill a professional retainer.
How do your services differ from traditional board search?
Active CEOs and top executives are prized as directors for the real-world experience they bring to the
boardroom. However, odds are poor that they will be called upon to join an external board perfectly suited to their interests and their company’s unique needs.
Two decades ago, we introduced BoardSelect®, an innovative advisory service designed to connect America’s most accomplished and valued executives with well-matched, mutually beneficial board service opportunities. Throughout this process, we advise the executive in creating an “ideal board specification,” selecting the boards that will best fit their selection criteria, and those that will most benefit from their business expertise.
What if a match isn't made?
On the off chance that a match isn’t made between one of our retained executives and your board’s current needs, our experienced consultants can suggest alternative solutions.
