In recent years, we have noticed a shift in the predilection of both investors and managers, who seem to be moving toward a more intimate relationship with their board of directors. They want to know who their board members are, what their experience is, and are leaning toward a preference for having directors with varied professional backgrounds. The desire for hands on, involved board members by both investors and managers is substantial. At 19 North FS, we, your directors, are here for you when you need us.
