Board Members Quotes

• We need strong school board members who know right from wrong. The Bible, being the only true source of right and wrong, should be the guide of board members. Only godly Christians can truly qualify for this critically important position.

• Many flagship state universities have wonderful digital libraries that are accessed by people around the world. In future, if not current, budget crises, trustees, board members, and administrators may wonder why these state institutions - with an articulated primary clientele of students, faculty, and staff members and a secondary clientele of all citizens of the state - should be spending resources on a digital library that is used by many people beyond the primary and secondary service populations.

• I realized that in all the sectors of society where there's a huge gender disparity, the one place that can be fixed overnight is onscreen. You think about getting half of Congress, or the presidency ... It's going to take a while no matter how hard we work on it. But half of the board members and half of the CEOs can be women in the next movie somebody makes; it can be absolutely half.

• We have it in our heads that women only need to take up a certain amount of space and then we've done right by them. It's the same in every profession. We get a handful of women professors, a few female board members - that looks normal.

• Soy un reincidente político. Un votante incorregible y reincidente. Un aprieta palancas de carrera. Mi historial electoral es tan largo como su brazo. A lo largo de tres décadas, he votado a presidentes y miembros de consejos escolares. He votado con grandes esperanzas y con gran desconfianza. He votado a favor de candidatos y simplemente en contra de sus oponentes. He votado proposiciones escritas con tal complejidad que he necesitado Noam Chomsky para deconstruir su significado. He sido votante de un solo tema y votante marginal. Incluso he votado a personas que se presentaban sin oposición. Convoque elecciones y allí estaré.

• The key reason executives are paid so much now is that they appoint the members of the corporate board that determines their compensation and control many of the perks that board members count on. So it's not the invisible hand of the market that leads to those monumental executive incomes; it's the invisible handshake in the boardroom.

• Es un poco decepcionante que miembros de un consejo de administración que no saben nada de fútbol tomen decisiones sobre tu carrera. Hay entrenadores, jugadores veteranos y directores generales que me querían, pero cuando se llega a una reunión del consejo de administración, hay empresarios gordos que deciden sobre tu carrera. Fue frustrante y me enfadé un poco.

• I love what the Valley does. I love company building. I love startups. I love technology companies. I love new technology. I love this process of invention.

• ...in the eyes of her oldest friends and colleagues and extended family, she wasn't a painfully thin seventy-five-year-old gray haired woman dying of cancer- she was a grade school class president, the young friend you gossiped with, a date or double date, someone to share a tent with in Darfur, a fellow election monitor in Bosnia, a mentor, a teacher you'd laughed within a classroom or a faculty lounge, or the board member you'd groaned with after a contentious meeting

• Facebook no es ideológicamente neutral. De hecho, surge de una visión del mundo muy particular que podemos rastrear hasta Hobbes. Lo descubrí examinando el perfil de los miembros de la junta directiva de Zuckerberg que, a diferencia de él, son un grupo muy interesante y, sospecho, el verdadero poder detrás del chico de los carteles.
