Serving on a board comes with a host of responsibilities, from monitoring finances to spreading the word about the organization, and experience is often gained by serving on other boards. The interviewer wants to know if you have previous board experience. If you do, share your experience with the interviewer and make sure you highlight your specific experience relative to the areas listed in the board chairman job description.
If you don't have experience, feel free to share any experience you may have that is similar to serving on a board, such as leadership positions or serving on committees.
