Board Matchmaking

A strong board should be made up of a diverse group of individuals who bring varying skill sets and experiences to the table. It’s important to have a board that not only represents a range of backgrounds and perspectives but also one that can challenge and hold each other accountable. Our team of experts will help you define the qualities that make an ideal board member and find the right match for your business.

Take a look at the types of boards below. All businesses are required to have a minimum of what we call a Paper Board; essentially this is a set of names on paper that you may or may not contact throughout the year. However, the most successful family businesses have fully-operational Advisory Boards and Fiduciary Boards. That's where we come in.

We’ll work with you to identify gaps in your board’s skillset and determine what attributes are most important to you. Our team will then use our extensive network to find potential candidates that meet your requirements while also bringing a fresh perspective to your business. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so we’ll take the time to understand your unique needs and tailor our search accordingly.

For our most recent board opening, we used the UNI Family Business Center to help us with this important position. They helped us determine the skills and qualifications needed and posted the position. I was highly impressed with the quality of the candidates. There was no way we could have achieved this on our own. They even helped us with an onboarding checklist so that our new board member felt welcomed and oriented to our family of companies. We will definitely utilize UNI for future board openings.
