There are a number of associations with registered, trained board members as affiliates. I belong to the Forum for Corporate Directors which (unfortunately) serves only Southern California; but there are other organizations to use as resources. Better yet, good corporate attorneys usually have excellent recommendations since they often sit in board meetings and observe the actions of board members in various environments. Good luck!

Having been on the Board of several early stage technology ventures, I can confirm the importance of the points you are making. And as those of us with extensive BOD experience are aware, there are many additional aspects to having an effective Board that adds value to the business.

In conjunction with this, as with a great CEO, having great BOD members is typically crucial to improving the probability of venture success and prudently managing risk.

Given the importance of this matter and the scarcity of these people, do you have any suggestions about where to find those that want to make a difference and are sophisticated in business ?
