A recent report found that corporate board members at Fortune 500 companies average $141,000 a year in salary, and receive $20,000 for each meeting they attend.
A Prayer For
Corporate Board
Membership
Lord,
Please get me a seat on the board.
I won’t blow no whistles, oh no, not me,
I’d play for the team, never disagree.
My knowledge is shallow, my attention fleeting,
But I’d dress real well, never miss a meeting.
About company affairs I may be hazy,
But the night before a meet I’d read up like crazy.
You need bigger perks for the CEO?
You pays for quality, that much I know.
With me, there’d be, no personal rubs,
All hassles we’d settle over drinks at our clubs.
I’d sure never join a reforming rabble,
This is my second job, at most I’d just dabble.
Lord,
Please get me that seat on the board;
(And throw in liability coverage,
Against charges of fraud.)
