I think its great that you took time to look at and evaluate so called "Board memebers" on companies whose stock you are a holder. Not many will actually do that and not many actually vote either, thus turning over their votes to the "board" members or company itself.
Many board members I have found are basically not qualified to actually sit on the board and help direct the business activities of a corporation that they really have no idea of how it runs or operates with all the various critical departments like Sales, Distribution, transportation, marketing, purchasing, etc....
My dog is smarter than many of them.
IF a business owner issmart enough and savvy enough to start his own business and make it grow and turn it into a small to medium size corporation that is profitable, why would that business owner,(entrepreneur), allow someone else who has not put in the effort, time, expertise, hours, to have say in the ongoing plans for continued growth or operations. I realize that any individual does not know everything and cannot do everything, but setting direction, goals, objectives, is something one person can do and too many bakers make some really weird pies..
So , these are just MY thoughts on companies that started out and have grown into larger corporations that needed to raise capital so they sold stock to raise it and give up a little bit of control but not much.
I simply have a problem with so called "board" members who really have no skin invested in someone else's hard work and dedication and if that owner really needed any expertise, or additional opinion, he or she could always have plenty of that from multiple places and not need "bored" members.
