  Very insightful. What about open letters to the company or shareholder meeting speeches highlighting in-depth analysis of current issues and suggested solutions to them?

  Theoretically, the control of a company is divided between two bodies: the board of directors, and the shareholders in general meeting. In practice, the amount of power exercised by the board varies with the type of company. In small private companies, the directors and the shareholders will normally be the same people, and thus there is no real division of power. In large public companies, the board tends to exercise more of a supervisory role, and individual responsibility and management tends to be delegated downward to individual professional executive directors (such as a finance director or a marketing director) who deal with particular areas of the company's affairs.
  March Madness On Demand is a great way for people to watch college basketball. It's funny that most people that are college sports fans root for teams from universities and colleges that they never went to! March Madness On Demand is a software bundle that you can download onto your cell phone (only for smart phones) and with a broadband internet connection get the game broadcast to that phone. It may not take payday loans to download the app, but at the least you can get a news feed to see the scores. If you have a desire to see teams prevail from universities you never went to from states you have never seen compete, March Madness On Demand might be the thing for you.

  As a leadership coach, I've worked with many leaders and board members. And I've served on quite a few boards myself.
  
  I would add #6: Get a copy of the mission statements for all the organizations you're interested in. If you are seated on a board, that mission is your mandate. Legally, it's also your fiduciary responsibility. Checking on the mission will tell you whether or not your life and your livelihood can align there.
  
  If your values don't line up with the fundamental values of the organization - in other words, if your missions don't match - look elsewhere. I know from 20+ years of leadership coaching that legacy leaders take a values-driven approach to where they invest their time. Look at where you can serve best, contribute most and, at the end of the day, rest soundly about.
