Re: "Normally, BOD positions are essentially just paid spots, handsomely paid to lend their name and potential connections to a BOD, show up and meet a few times a yr at the most, etc.
Celebs, former astronauts, political figures etc often sit on BOD's for large companies, getting paid easy money to lend their names, status, connections, etc. It's good money for a few meetings a year."
Hopalong, I would have expected you to know that it is totally ridiculous to put Robert Langer in the above category of corporate BOD members.
