This is not as uncommon as you may think. This sector often struggles to attract board director talent, and as a result, many board directors end up staying too long on the Board of Directors. In my opinion, it’s best to be clear on your tenure from the outset and be prepared to assist the organization with finding your replacement board member at the appropriate time. Board renewal and fresh board director talent are just as important as continuity, so it is important to get the balance right.
