Who we are. What we do.
At the Board Harbor Foundation, our mission is to enhance corporate board composition and performance by fostering trusted, authentic relationships essential to accessing and excelling in board roles.
When boards lack individuals whose skills and experiences align with the organization’s strategy, markets, and customers, they risk undermining the organization’s success. This “board composition risk” is often caused by limited access to trusted networks from which to source qualified candidates.
Through exclusive, invitation-only events, we create opportunities for corporate directors and board-qualified individuals to build meaningful connections,
expanding the talent pool available for board roles. By broadening where organizations look for board talent, we help improve governance quality and reduce composition risk.
We envision a world where the composition of corporate boards is optimized to foster effective governance, drive organizational success, and ensure long-term performance.
70% of nominating/governance committees say board composition and succession planning is an overwhelming number one priority.
Finding and retaining top talent for board positions is a complex task, and many companies struggle to build a strong pipeline of qualified candidates.
As risks have multiplied and board members have come under increased pressure to oversee complex emerging issues, this suggests formalized educational efforts have taken on greater significance to enhance the knowledge and readiness of the board.
