Serving on a corporate board of directors can be a lucrative side gig or second career for high-profile executives and recent retirees. Board membership is less stressful and time-consuming than earlier positions board members have taken on, while still offering an impressive income.
The average Board Member salary in the United States is $73,401.
Compensation for board members can easily reach $300,000 to $500,000 a year, according to Veritas, an executive compensation consulting service.
The most lucrative seats go to directors at S&P 500 companies. Average compensation in 2018 at those firms was $304,856, according to Reuters.
Walk into the Boardroom with a strong foundation on what a board is, why it exists, who the players are, and how directors can make or break the organization. Be board ready!
