Understand the Role of a Board Member

Are you considering a board assignment? Get an introduction to the role and challenges of a board director and understand if you want to become one yourself.


How does it work to join and participate in a board? What are the challenges? Which of your own experiences are particularly helpful if you are looking for a board assignment? What new skills will you learn from the board activity that can be helpful for your current role? In this co-produced workshop with Board Owl you will get the answers to those questions from an experienced board director and have the chance to practice in a “simulated board meeting” with real case examples.
