Director essential resources
For both new and experienced board members, the KPMG Board Leadership Center offers director essentials, current insights, and information on events and programs. First-time board members can also leverage our new director onboarding resources.
For any new director, a learning curve comes with the territory.
Just how steep that learning curve is—and how quickly a new director is able to contribute meaningfully to the work of the board and its committees—can hinge directly on the quality of the onboarding process.
