New Model for Board Governance, Where the Board Meeting Happens in Public

NEW YORK - EntSun -- MBA Standards Board™, the credentialing organization behind Certified MBA™, Chartered MBA™ (CMBA™), MBAe™, and Board Certified Director™, today announced a governance model its leadership believes may represent a genuinely new approach to how a professional board can operate in the era of distributed, global work.

Rather than convening its board of more than fifty members through scheduled video calls or in-person meetings, MBASB has built its board's core working rhythm around structured, substantive engagement on LinkedIn, timed to a consistent weekly publishing schedule so board members from different regions, time zones, and professional demands can contribute when it fits their calendar, not a single meeting slot dictated by headquarters.

"Traditional boards meet in a room," said Cheryl Nunn, MBAe™, CEO of MBA Standards Board™. "Ours meets wherever our board members already are, on their own time, in full public view. We did not set out to reinvent board governance. We set out to build something that actually worked for a board spanning multiple continents and industries, and what we found is that it created something more transparent and more substantive than a closed door meeting ever could."

The model produces what the organization is calling a public boardroom, where board discussion happens in open comment threads rather than behind closed doors, visible to anyone, including members of the public, who are welcome to read, learn from, and participate in the same conversation. A recent newsletter discussing the fragmentation of traditional higher education, the organization's board generated more than 50 substantive, thought leader level exchanges within the first three hours of publication.

The newsletter referenced, "The College System Is Fragmenting; Read This to Learn What Is Filling the Gaps," is available at the following link and offers a real-time example of the model in practice.

MBASB believes this approach offers several advantages over traditional board governance, particularly for organizations with globally distributed leadership.

Accessibility across time zones and schedules, allowing board members to engage meaningfully without requiring a single synchronous meeting time that inevitably favors one region over others. Genuine corporate transparency, with governance level discussion conducted in public rather than behind closed doors.

A documented, permanent record of board thinking, since public comment threads create a lasting, searchable history of board members' insights, unlike a closed meeting whose substance typically disappears into private minutes.

MBASB believes this model may offer a template worth considering for other boards, membership organizations, and professional bodies navigating the same challenge of engaging distributed, globally located members meaningfully.
