Our people were very restive, saying that they could not sit under that notice, and that if the National Board did not call them out soon they would go out of themselves.
I didn’t play or like a lot of board games as a child. I liked playing with my G.I. Joes and making up adventures for them.
You can’t build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.
When I started out, I really struggled as a comic because no one knew who I was, and sometimes I was telling stories, so it would take a while for people to get on board for things.
I was desperate to leave Hamburg. The club was awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I had a personal issue with one of the board members. He was desperate to get me out. The first club came calling, and it was Man City.
When I grew up in Cincinnati in 1974, the Board of Education set up the performing school, similar to the New York performing arts school, and it was in walking distance from my school.
I probably have a small number of people that are consistently advisors and mentors, but I’m much more likely to have a broader array of… almost like an unofficial board of advisors, where I know that certain people are going to be good for certain types of topics.
The transition from fan to performer to recording artist, for me, was like learning how to dive… and each board got higher and higher.

I’m still focused on the flagship businesses: Quicken Loans and RockBridge, the title company, and some of the board stuff in the gaming.
I think there’s no question that vaccines have been absolutely critical in ridding us of the scourge of many diseases – smallpox, polio, etc. So vaccines are an invaluable medication. Like any medication, they also should be – what shall we say? – approved by a regulatory board that people can trust.
One of the first acts during the second coming of Steve Jobs as CEO in 1997 was a major board overhaul.
I was that kid that did dance, singing, pageants. I did everything pretty much across the board, so it was kind of an adjustment solely doing music.
I was the first in my family to board an airplane. I was the first in my family to get kicked off an airplane.
I come to New Orleans so often that, one day soon, someone’s going to declare me a native. I love the food. I love the music. I serve on the board of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra.

Having diversity around the board room, the executive table, and up and down our stores is really important.
I started skating when I was about 10 years old. It was in an alleyway. I picked up my brother’s skateboard and stood on it. I started to roll down the alley, and I yelled at my brother asking him how I turn the thing. At the end of the alley, I just jumped off, picked up the board and physically turned it around.
Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those – but it’s really important who’s mayor and who’s on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.
I’m like, ‘Would you be the person in the room that would boo when Dylan went electric? I know I wouldn’t. Or are you the person that left The Beatles after ‘She Loves You,’ or ‘Drive My Car?’ You weren’t on board for ‘Revolution 9’ or ‘Day In The Life,’ were you?’
I make music that surfers dig, but, like Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys, I’m the dude who never gets on the board.

I play board games with my sons and they are very interesting and I have discovered a few which I was not aware of.
I feel like now fashion is just part of how I think about everything. When I send out a mood board to our contributors every month about our monthly theme, there are photos from our fashion shows, but there are also film stills and album art.
I always believe that if you stick with quality and give people a chance at the time, that people eventually get on board with it. It’s been my experience more than not. Once in a while, there’s a show that you just can’t seem to break through on.
I’ve got the Lord on board.
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, ‘What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?’ And, ‘How does creativity apply across the board?’
The kimono, haori, and girdle, and even the long hanging sleeves, have only parallel seams, and these are only tacked or basted, as the garments, when washed, are taken to pieces, and each piece, after being very slightly stiffened, is stretched upon a board to dry.
‘Krampus’ had a certain originality about it, so I jumped on board.
When we look at really good high-performing companies abroad, they are always at the back of an extremely high-performing board, and that is something which is very lacking in this country.
Everyone has different things they like in terms of board setup. The grind of the board and how it’s waxed – you want to make sure that the speed of the board is right for the conditions of the halfpipe. And then there’s the edges and the bevel of the edge.
Every time you go up to the board, you get scared. It’s more like adrenaline, though – you feel pumped and ready to go.
When I wear the hat of management, it is important that our management behaves and conducts as management accountable to the board.
I’m on the board of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which is run by Dr. Stacy Smith – she conceived of the inclusion rider. What I love about the inclusion rider is it uses the fact that Hollywood is based on hierarchies, and it knows that these key players have persuasive power.
It is important for big names such as Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri to get on board and recognise that women do actually understand the game and they can play as well.
There’s a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.
I’ve been surfing several times, and I’m terrible at it. But what I found was that you’re usually waiting on the board, hanging out, watching the waves come in. And one that you think is a big wave is not actually one.
Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.
Financing for ‘Shotgun Stories’ was initiated with money from close friends and family. This is where the money to go into production came from. After production, a company called ‘Upload Films’ came on board and provided post-production funds and services. In both instances, people were taking a gamble on us.
We invited HP executives to participate in the management and in the board. HCL had this concept of corporate officers since inception in 1999. We had a remuneration committee. Now everyone is talking about nomination and remuneration committee. We had this from 1999.
I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.
That’s what we’re here for as quarterbacks is to help our team win, lead the offense down the field and put points on the board.
When he was twenty-three or twenty-four my father began to learn German and read philosophy in his spare hours, which did not look as though he were destined to remain long on board ship!
As CEOs or board members, women are still underrepresented, and that gap is actually growing.

Let me be crystal clear: There is no such thing as ‘limited use’ nuclear weapons, and for a Pentagon advisory board to promote their development is absolutely unacceptable.
The government’s job is good governance for everybody. My government will make policies; if you fit into it, come on board, or stay where you are. My job is not to spoon-feed anyone.
An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.
If I’m home with no chore at hand, and a package of books has come, the television set and the chess board and the unanswered mail will have to manage without me if one of the books is a detective story.
If I am popular across the board, from teenagers to pensioners, it’s not because I’m trying to be family-orientated, it’s because my mum vets all my shows! I always get a critique from her and she’s very harsh.
I see my fans as music lovers. I really love that. There’s no age group or demographic. It’s people of all ages and backgrounds. Country people and non-country people. I wanted to make music across the board.
