The last eighteen months have brought about a shift in priorities for the business world. As companies adapt to better serve all stakeholders, boards must grapple with ESG issues like climate change and sustainability, workforce challenges and DEI policies in ways they never have before, even integrating them more robustly into long-term strategic planning.

As this change progresses, how can you effectively market yourself and your unique background to find a board that is seeking fresh perspectives?
