2. A board of directors of any major American corporation resembles an exclusive club. There are from three to four top management executives who are employed full-time on the board. There are a score or so of outstanding businessmen there. They are often board chairmen or presidents themselves, from other diverse fields. There is one or several reasons for their board membership. They are their own achievements elsewhere, the prestige of the institution they represent, or a strong connection — usually financial — with the company on whose board they sit. Businessmen consider it high honour to be a company director because of prestige. Besides major companies pay each director between one or two thousand dollars for every meeting attended, normally ten a year. Particularly high in prestige is a directorship of any major bank. First Mercantile American, as befitting a bank among the nation's top twenty, possessed an impressive board of directors.

3. Alex Vandervoort surveyed the other directors as they took seats around the long boardroom table and decided there was a high percentage of dead wood on the board. There were also conflicts of interest since some directors, or their companies, were major borrowers of bank money. "There is much work to do to make the FMA board more representative and less like a cosy club" Alex thought. There were not many supporters of Alex Vandervoort on the board. Alex knew that one of his strong supporters was Leonard Kingswood, chairman of Northam Steel.
