How will you choose your board?

Last week’s lecture wrapped up the exciting 2011 season of Entrepreneurship 101.

Having played a significant role in many of Canada’s technology companies, lecturer David Pasieka brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion. He chose a topic that is one of his favourites when lecturing at McMaster University: Board of Directors and other Advisors.
