Number of Openings Except for the unusual situations accompanying startups and mergers, openings on boards are typically created when existing directors resign, retire, or die. Openings also occur when a board decides to expand its size and occasionally in the wake of resignations or removals precipitated by the nominating committee舗s evaluation of director and board performance.
