Joining a board can be a transformative step in your professional journey. It’s an opportunity to leverage your skills, contribute to meaningful decisions, and influence your organization’s direction. The “Becoming a Board Member of Value” workshop is designed to equip you with the tools to attract board roles, understand your responsibilities, and contribute effectively to governance.
This workshop is structured into two immersive sessions to provide both foundational learning and hands-on practice:
- 3-Hour Workshop: This session focuses on actionable strategies for securing board roles, understanding expectations, and delivering value through your unique skills. Through engaging discussions, practical exercises, and real-world insights, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence needed to thrive as a board member.
- 2-Hour Simulated Board Meeting: Building on the first session, this realistic exercise allows you to put theory into action. You’ll experience the dynamics of a boardroom, refine your decision-making and governance skills, and apply your knowledge in a collaborative environment, receiving feedback to enhance your performance.
This comprehensive program is complemented by our online course content, which serves as the foundation for the in-person sessions. The first lesson of the online course is available for free, giving you a glimpse into the essential skills and strategies for board membership. Paid members enjoy permanent access to the course, which is regularly updated with the latest insights and practices in governance.
