Women In Directorship Programme

This programme is a fast-paced interactive day of awareness, fun, and development through blended learning methods. The day is designed to ensure participants gain insights on the day and chart a path of continual self-development and impact as a Director on Boards as well as building networks with other people that face similar successes and challenges.

Having the required knowledge of the rules of the game, the required EQ, resilience, and self-determination are essential skills on how to best position oneself as a Director.
