The role of the non-executive director (NED)
This discussion is for anyone interested in taking on a non-executive director (NED) role - at any time of life. It may be something you are thinking about as part of a portfolio career, as an addition to your current role or as a way to plan for your retirement.
Caroline Stockmann will discuss how members can use their experience and skills to take up NED roles with Louis Cooper, chief executive of NEDA (Non-Executive Directors' Association). They will talk about the role of the NED, NEDs and the board, and the NED life-cycle. They will discuss tips on how not to become too operational, the importance of diversity and inclusion and how NEDs must reflect the organisations they work for, and wider society.
This is the fifth of our ‘In conversation with…’ series, held virtually using Microsoft Teams, which is designed to broaden your business and behavioural skills. The series will consist of conversations with our Chief Executive, Caroline Stockmann, herself a trained coach, along with a variety of guest speakers and experts who will talk informally on the behaviours and skills needed to develop a successful career.
This event is exclusive to ACT members and students.
