OutsideDirectors

Signed on to OutsideDirectors.net ($189) only to find that many of the "opportunities" to become a Director involve, not only donating your time (which is fine for a good cause), but to also donate your cash. So many positions posted ask that you pay to do work for them. If this was disclosed up front, I would not have joined. However, forget about trying to cancel your membership. There is no mechanism to do that and customer service does not respond to any of your questions.

I hold a seat on the board of directors of a public company. I would like to add another directorship.

Outsidedirectors.net pitches itself as streamlining company's search for outside directors and charges a hefty fee for potential candidates to participate.

I began receiving multiple postings each day as soon as I signed up. Unfortunately none of them were for outside directors. Rather they were for various jobs with the word "Director" in the title, e.g. "Director of Finance". But none were for outside directors for public companies.

Do not waste your money or time.
