Prince, you nailed it once again. Boards are nothing more than an attempt to create the illusion of giving everyone a fair shake. They dance the dance and sing the song, but they aren’t fooling anyone. I knew beforehand, that I was going to get the position, on every single board I ever went on. In every case, I was pulled aside and told, “you really should give serious consideration to applying for this position or that position”. Sometimes I didn’t put in for the position, because someone more qualified, and more deserving than me, was planning to put in for it. I wanted to to see them get it. Occasionally, they did. The system is definitely rigged. Anyone that tells you otherwise, has never been on a board.
