# create-a-board-candidate-bio

Show governance judgment, not only executive seniority.

## When to use

- Use for nomination, board search, investor, regulator, or committee review.
- Do not conceal conflicts, disqualifications, sanctions, overlapping duties, or material relationships.

## Procedure

1. Confirm organization, board mandate, ownership, regulation, strategy, risk, committee needs, and selection criteria.
2. Inventory board, executive, fiduciary, audit, risk, people, technology, industry, and stakeholder evidence.
3. Separate governance oversight from management execution.
4. State relevant outcomes with fair attribution and no confidential board detail.
5. Verify appointments, dates, committee roles, qualifications, independence, and public records.
6. Identify actual and potential conflicts, time commitments, related parties, and recusal needs for formal review.
7. Write a concise narrative connecting experience to the board's current needs without generic prestige language.
8. Prepare a longer evidence file and required declarations.
9. Reconcile the bio with CV, profiles, regulatory filings, and public sources.

## Done

- A board bio presents verified governance, oversight, strategic, risk, committee, and stakeholder evidence
- Appointments, qualifications, independence, conflicts, time commitments, public records, and declarations are checked
