Board Recruitment.

Welcome to the August 2024 issue of Board Recruitment, BoardProspects' flagship publication which keeps you at the forefront of corporate governance and boardroom composition. Our objective is to provide you with the insights and strategies you need to enhance the effectiveness of your board.

This month, our feature article, "The Continuing Barriers to Board Refreshment," dives into a critical aspect of corporate governance that is often easier said than done. In the article, I discuss the persistent challenges that many boards face in achieving true refreshment—an essential practice for maintaining a dynamic and forward-thinking leadership team. Despite the well-documented benefits, such as agility and fresh perspectives, many boards struggle to implement meaningful change. I explore five major obstacles and offer practical solutions to help overcome these barriers.

In addition to our feature, this issue includes valuable contributions from our BoardRoom Resource Partners:

– "Maximizing CX: The Game You Must Win" from Protiviti: learn strategies for enhancing customer experience, a key driver of long-term success;

– "Learning by Proxy" from KPMG; see the latest highlights and trends from the 2024 proxy season; and

– "Look at the Big Picture: A Message to Boards Seeking Business Judgment Rule Protection" from Sidley: gain insights into safeguarding your board’s decision-making processes under the Business Judgment Rule
