Still Thinking About It?

You should give DirectorPrep membership a 30-day risk-free shot if any of the following are true.

• You want to be the best board director you can be.

• You want to feel confident and ready to add value to discussions in the boardroom.

• You value your time and want to spend it wisely when preparing for board meetings.

• You want a consistent, repeatable process to prepare for board and committee meetings.

• You'd like inspiration for great questions that will kick start conversations around the board table.

• You want an easy way to be connected to governance experts and valuable resources.

I say it all the time – ‘Preparation is the key to success in the boardroom.’ 

That’s why we developed the PREP Framework to provide you with a consistent, repeatable process to prepare for board meetings. 

With the help of the PREP Guide and our innovative Questions App, we want you to be ready for your board meeting, every time. 

When you're really ready for an upcoming meeting, you can feel confident that you'll be able to  collaborate, contribute and influence board decisions.

And that is so much more satisfying than just muddling through!

We'd love to welcome you as a DirectorPrep member!
