FREE EVENT: De-mystifying the World of Non Executive Directorship

12:30 pm

Zoom

Exploring the Non Executive Directorship route is a popular option amongst our community. Due to its popularity, there are a lot of organisations who will be interested in selling you a service to help you get ‘NED ready’.

​Our facilitator for this event is experienced recruiter Lisa Kim MacLaren, who has spent some time looking at what is available. She’s been really impressed with what Sarah from Dynamic Boards has been doing, so we’ve invited her and a couple of non executive directors to come and share answers to:

  • ​What the landscape for NED work looks like right now
  • ​What are people recruiting NEDs looking for?
  • ​What practical steps can people take to get NED ready and what are the best resources?
  • ​What are the key things an NED does?
  • ​What can people expect to get paid?
  • ​What are the good/bad things about NED work?

​Owing to the small and interactive nature of most of our meetings, we are limiting numbers and will be operating on a first come, first served basis. It will be free to anyone to attend, but priority is offered to Brave Starts members.
