Proper composition of any Corporate Board is crucial to building a foundation meant to ensure the sustainable, long term success of an organization.  Too often, private companies and family businesses fill seats on their Boards with reliable “allies” rather than true “assets,” and as a result, their Boards can sometimes end up lacking either the necessary depth of intelligence or diverse range of experience needed to truly support management and the organization. 

At NACD-CT’s next breakfast program on March 2^nd, hosted by Fairfield University, our panel will lend their substantial experience and tremendous knowledge to the matter of defining “The Role and ‘Value Add’ of the Independent Director in Private Companies and Family Business.”
 

John Pouschine - is a founding member of Pouschine Cook Capital Management, and Chairman of the Board of A World of Tile, Doe & Ingalls Management, LLC, Latex International, Inc., and St. Clair Entertainment Group.  John will lead discussion on the evolving phases a private company Board typically undergoes, as well as the issues they face, and the value a strong independent director brings to this environment.
