Skills Series Interactive has been developed for School of Management alumni and is hosted by Katie Calvert-Jones, Head of Alumni Relations and External Engagement. These sessions are designed to be short and useful for our alumni, offering practical knowledge and skills.

Becoming a Non-Executive Director or Trustee

If you are starting to consider boardroom opportunities such as a Non-Executive Director (NED) or Trustee, but you lack previous boardroom experience, this practical Skills Series Interactive session is for you.

Leading boardroom matchmaker Heather White, CEO of Smarter Networking Ltd and founder of the Boardroom Ready programme, will give you professional advice on approaching this transition.

In this session, Heather will encourage you to think about and plan:

  • What motivates people to become a Non-Executive Director or Trustee
  • Why your motivation is important
  • How to leverage your current experience
  • The experience you may need to gain before being accepted onto a board
  • The type of boards that exist and what might best suit you
  • Do you need training before becoming a Non-Executive Director or Trustee?
  • Where are the jobs?

To encourage attendee interaction these sessions will not be recorded.
