The description of your dependent variable suggests that 0 is not a
possible value: a director, by definition, serves on at least one
board. Is the dependent variable actually the number of boards minus
1? If 0 is not a possible value of the dependent variable, you should
consider a truncated distribution, and such a distribution may be
appropriate instead of subtracting 1 (if that is the current
definition).
