Refunds for all our individual events are available if notice is given three business days prior by email or telephone, or one month prior to first session of our programmes. After this, a transfer to another event will be given. Cancellations on the same business day will not generally be eligible for a refund or transfer, however you may substitute someone to come in your place. In the case of exceptional circumstances let us know and we will consider a refund/transfer.

Connect with other non-executives on public sector boards, and those with relevant experience actively targeting these positions.

Our Circles of support are an additional service launching for 2025. They are a ‘go-to’ community of support for members with experience in each sector to build closer connections. Each group involves a WhatsApp Community and six events, mixed between virtual and in-person.

Public Sector boards are uniquely impactful across all our daily lives, and face a unique set of challenges. This close-knit Circle offers NEDs serving on boards of government departments, NDPBs, housing associations, schools & universities and more the chance to come together. Spanning a broad range of organisation types, we will focus on drawing out commonalities of overseeing large, complex operations in budget-conscious and high scrutiny contexts.

Open to our Full and Directors’ Circle members, whether they are currently serving on a Public Sector board or aspiring to one, this group aims to encourage all to excel in this space.
