Anyone can join a board if you know how to crack the code. Wanted → A Board Career is not just about gaining a title. It’s about shaping the future of organizations while creating meaning, legacy, and impact in your own life.
This step-by-step playbook will help you:
- Understand the different types of boards and how to target the right ones for you.
- Translate your career accomplishments into board-ready skills.
- Build a powerful narrative that attracts attention from nominating committees.
- Navigate networking and board search consultants (recruiters) with ease.
- Position yourself as a trusted board member who adds value from day one.
What Board Directors are saying about this comprehensive guide:
“An easy-to-read ‘how-to’ without ever being pedantic—well written, well organized, and truly comprehensive. I’ve never read a book that starts with ‘why a board’ and ends with ‘onboarding and the work really begins.’ It’s a great playbook, and like all great playbooks, it leaves room for readers to apply their own talent and creativity.”
- Stephanie Streeter, Public, private and non-profit board director and former CEO, Libbey Inc.
“A must-read roadmap for rising leaders who want a seat at the table.”
- Alison Levin, Private board director, nonprofit board chair and President, NBCUniversal Advertising & Partnerships
"This is by far the most comprehensive guide to pursuing a board seat that I have seen in my 57 years of sitting on boards. If I only had this book over the years, I could have saved myself thousands of hours of explaining all this to good folks who were searching."
- Dennis Cagan, Board chairman, board director and former public company CEO
"As a marketing executive, I appreciate frameworks that drive measurable outcomes. Wanted -> A Board Career delivers. If you’re serious about building a board career, this is the strategic playbook you need."
- Lesly Marban, Board director and chief marketing officer

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
