“The Board’s role is to pull management out of the trees to see the forest.”
- Pearl Zhu, Digitizing Boardroom
We believe the best defense against poor decision making, corporate negligence, and abuse of power is a qualified, proactive, engaged Board of Directors along with their trusted advisors. They have the unique responsibility to:
- Direct competent strategic level decision making and execute oversight of executive management.
- Prevent or mitigate damage to a corporation, its shareholders, and its stakeholders that results from executive mismanagement or misbehavior.
- Prepare the corporation for crisis management that results from fraud, regulatory changes, competitive action, or discontinuous product innovation, to mention just a few.
To pursue this mission, AICBA was created to:
- Certify current and potential board members and key advisors for their critical role.
- Prepare future Board Members and Advisors.
- Develop insight into the successes and failures of corporate strategic decision making and oversight.
- Promote advocacy for more effective corporate oversight.
