Enerplus Corporation was a company transitioning from being a buy-and-sell energy trust to one engaged in exploitation and investigation. The company required Sue MacKenzie's name and two new board members were proposed to the CEO by the Enerplus vice president of corporate services. She had never aggressively considered board service as a career step while MacKenzie was intrigued with the thought and she had a innovative career course at the Banff Centre.
She assumed a systematic evaluation of this board chance with attention to the career benefits, personal benefits, potential hazards, impact on her personal life, and "match" with her new career. Following a succession of assemblies, MacKenzie was invited to serve on the board and she needed to make a decision: should she accept or decline the invitation?
