Could you join a board? And more importantly, do you want to?

Join us at this informal networking session to hear more about how Women on Boards has helped thousands of members to start and shape their board careers over the past decade.

In this free introductory session, we will uncover the wealth of board opportunities in multiple sectors and encourage you to explore how a non-executive position can fit into your career journey – both in the future and now. 

What we do works.

We are the UK’s most impactful board community – supporting one member into the boardroom every day (on average) with a knowledge base and network built up for over a decade.

“I could not have built my board career without you and the network. Anyone who is serious about being a non-executive director should be seeking and acting on your advice. It really works.”

Angela Henderson, portfolio NED

We will address many of the common concerns we know aspiring non-executive directors may have – around time, fees, legal risk and where to find the opportunities. This brief session will also touch on positioning yourself as a board-ready candidate, what really works when finding your first role and how Women on Boards’ tried and tested support can help.

It will also be a chance to ask your own questions to senior members of our small, friendly team. This in-person sessions offers ample opportunity to connect with other women in the warm, friendly atmosphere that characterises our network.

This event is most suitable for those not yet members of our network. By registering for this event, you are opting in to receive communications from us – from which you can unsubscribe at any time.
