The workshop aims to help attendees to think strategically about board roles as part of their career strategy.

Adding a board or committee appointment to your CV is a sure way of drawing attention and validating your capabilities, whilst catapulting your career up the ladder of success. I

Individuals that join boards – even of very small organisations – are able to use their experience and technical skills to influence an organisation, whilst at the same time gaining exposure to a wide range of issues from the perspective of a director and building confidence, expertise and networks.

The talk is suited to ambitious women at various career stages: who want to manage their careers strategically and build skills and influence; seeking to better understand how being on a board would benefit their career.
