Topics in this episode: >>  “Do I belong in the boardroom?”  >>  How to distinguish yourself from other prospective board members with a BVP - Board Value Proposition. >>  How to “network your career.” >>  Key professional skills you will learn or strengthen as a board member -- some of these may even get you a raise on your 9-5 job.
