Overview

This interactive session will help you strengthen two important foundations of your governance journey: your governance CV and your governance value proposition a concise introduction that clearly communicates the skills, experience and perspective you bring to the board table.

We will explore what distinguishes a governance CV from an executive CV, provide practical guidance on positioning yourself for board opportunities, and share tips for building your governance career.

If you already have a governance CV, please bring it with you so you can review and discuss it with your peers. If you have not yet developed one, that is absolutely fine --- the workshop will provide you with the tools and guidance to get started.

Before the session, take a moment to consider what makes you stand out as a potential director and the value you could bring to a board. A little preparation will help you get the most from the workshop.

Lunch will be provided.

Spaces are limited. If this event is fully booked, please contact auckland.branch@iod.org.nz to be placed on the waiting list.
