BELA Asks: Guidance for Serving on Outside Boards
In our BELA Asks series, we address questions posed by members of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) about wider issues facing the ethics and compliance community. BELA members who have any questions at all about ethics and compliance can send them to us, and then our internal experts will provide an answer and/or direct them to a helpful resource for more information.
For many executives, a natural part of their professional progression is to serve on Boards of Directors outside of their primary place of employment, be it at another company in a different industry, or an organization that connects to something in their personal life. In all such cases, however, there’s an ethics and compliance component to how that kind of relationship should be handled.
In this episode of BELA Asks, Erica Salmon Byrne provides helpful guidance for how serving on an outside board doesn’t have to be a major compliance headache.
