The Boardroom Bound® program is an award winning national organization that since 1999 represents a paradigm-changing innovation in the way next-generation business leaders are prepared and selected for board governance in the 21st century.

About Us

Boardology™ is the art and science of quality corporate governance, which means that board directors focus on balancing the profit factor by considering the environment and corporate social responsibility impact into policy decisions.

Our Mission of “Fostering quality governance through inclusive leadership in America’s boardrooms” predates the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission effort to address the ways board directors are identified and selected in 2009. Today, the SEC requires publicly traded companies to report on their board diversity policies in their annual proxy statements. Our three cornerstones in fostering quality corporate governance involve:

1. Advancing new standards for board candidacy in preparing and sourcing pre-qualified candidates

2. Building a premier diverse and inclusive board service pipeline that promotes public service as a core value and responsibility

3. Championing corporate governance preparedness through progressive board service experience and opportunities.

Boardroom Bound has developed a Framework to address these cornerstones. We call it our Diverse Talent Pipeline Delivery System.  Our system has three central elements that are sequentially related to moving individuals through our pipeline.  They are:

Boardology™ Institute: Training & Education

National Candidate Database©: Repository of Pre-qualified Candidates

Candidate Referral Services: Promotional Service
