Résumé

Praise for Sarbanes-Oxley and the Board of Directors

"Scott Green provides a comprehensive approach to board oversight that is on point, tackles the most controversial board issues of our day, and provides sound advice. Wise directors will read this book."
Jim Balsillie, Chairman, Research In Motion

"Scott helped our board to develop clarity of purpose, redefine its goals, and implement a structure that supports our objectives. The transformation resulted in a dynamic, productive, and engaged board. While relevant to public boards, I highly recommend this book for directors serving not-for-profit organizations as well."
Harold C. Gibson, Jr., Executive Director University of Idaho Alumni Association

"To be effective, boards of directors need timely, accurate, and relevant information derived from reliable processes. Scott's focus on process has helped us deliver information to our board in a more efficient manner."
Aimee Boden, Executive Director Randall's Island Sports Foundation, New York, New York

"Scott Green has enlightened all of us who serve or would like to serve on a board of directors. The prestige of serving on a board is clearly apparent, while the risks are often downplayed and rarely visible. He has succeeded in providing much-needed illumination in a very hands-on document that we will all benefit from reading."
Herman A. Berliner, PhD, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Hofstra University

"A more thoughtful search process, such as the methodology recommended in Scott's book, will result in a more cohesive and effective board that truly is a competitive asset for the company."
Julie Hembrock Daum, Practice Leader North American Board Services, Spencer Stuart
