Today our focus is on helping established Board Members thrive...

And Lisa is sharing...

  • Her own extensive Board experience...
  • The technical and soft skills required to be an effective Board member...
  • Effective Board Members are honest and open, prepared, constantly open to learning, are independent thinkers, respectful, good team members and more...
  • The outcomes effective Board members are seeking and more

"Keep learning, keep contributing, keep learning what it means to be a great Board-Citizen. It's less about sharing your expertise and more about being a great team member." (Lisa Cook,, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
