Learn How an Advisory Board Can Help You and Your Enterprise Thrive

Join a thought leader and three entrepreneurs to explore the why, what, how, and when of Advisory Boards—a hidden gem on the path to a thriving business and effective entrepreneurial leadership.

 

Why should I have an advisory board?

  • Having a sounding board of seasoned professionals who care about me and my business will lead to better decisions and outcomes
  • It will be much easier and more efficient to access the right capital at the right time if I develop an advisory board

     

"As small business leaders, we’re always learning something new about what’s working and what’s not working in our business…This is another opportunity to learn new things that will help us be successful." -Eleanor Léger, Eden Ciders
 

"The next thing we needed to do was not something we had experience in. The more your business grows, once you cross over that line, you’re kind of permanently in that place. And we really felt like an advisory board was necessary to give us the guidance, to help keep us honest, to inspire us, to help us ask difficult questions, just to bounce things off of." -Jonny Adler, Entrepreneur
