The Society recently collaborated with Equilar, Ellig Group, and the Nasdaq Center for Board Excellence to survey public companies on their first-time director onboarding practices. Among the findings, notably, the onboarding process is most commonly led by the General Counsel (GC) or Corporate Secretary (56%), and the GC or Corporate Secretary is also the most engaged in the process as compared to the CEO, CHRO, or board or board committee leadership.
