Can the CEO be on the board?

One in a Series of Q&A's from the Authoritative Website for the Carver Policy Governance® Model

Yes, but not without a conflict of interest. It is an imprudent practice and one that is entirely unnecessary inasmuch as whatever value it contributes can be achieved with other ways that do not have so obvious a downside. After all, the board has complete access to the CEO without his or her having a board seat. And if the reason for a board seat is to give the CEO greater prestige, the board has only itself to blame for not vesting great prestige in the CEO role itself. As an aside, if the CEO is given a board seat without a vote, we treat that as not being on the board.
