Over-Boarding Checker

Count your seats to see how your load compares with common investor guidance.

Public company boards

Of those, seats you chair

Private company boards

Nonprofit or advisory boards

I currently hold a full-time executive role

Within common guidance

You hold 1 public seat. Common guidance for serving executives (often two public boards including their own).

Why this matters

Many institutional investors and their advisers vote against directors who hold too many public company seats. Common guidance is no more than five public boards for non-executives, and fewer for serving executives.

Private, nonprofit and advisory roles are usually treated more leniently, but they still take time. Always check the specific policy of the company and its investors.
