Board KickStarter Breakfast
Board KickStarter Breakfast- March 2015
Speakers: Anthea Green and Monique Conheady
Take away messages:
Use your contacts - you don't need 300 of them, just five that matter.
Develop a one page resume.
It could take 6 - 12 months to find the right role for you - maybe more. Be patient.
Assess your appetite for risk and do your due diligence on any organisation you are considering joining as a NED.
A common - but not the only - pathway is to join a a not-for-proft board, then a government board and then a commercial board.
Don't be the Chair as your first NED role!
