How to build a successful board for your company - great resources

Last week, Utah's chapter of the NACD (nat'l assoc of corp. directors), UTC and MWCN co-sponsored a luncheon on building a great board of Directors called "Boards that Work - How CEO's Find Them and Flourish".  Jim Jensen was the moderator and the materials provided had a lot of value along with the discussion.  He has graciously posted them on his website and I wanted to recommend them to you, as many entrepreneurs either are wrestling with creating a strong board, or should be, but haven't started the process yet!
 
The overall site for articles on governance from Jim is here
 
The specific handout I recommend to you is here

In particular I recommend that you start on Page 5 and read the "discussion questions".  It really gets at the issues of recruiting a strong board and things to consider in that process.  The first 5 pages are about the dynamics of an existing board, and very insightful if you already have a functioning board that may or may not be working.
