Overview

As another busy and successful year draws to a close, what better way to celebrate than connecting with fellow directors over some Christmas cheer!

Join us for our final Director Connect of 2026, a relaxed and informal opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections and reflect on the year that has been.

Whether you are an experienced director, just starting your governance journey or simply looking to expand your network, Director Connect is a fantastic way to engage with others in our local governance community.
There’s no formal agenda, just great conversations, valuable connections and a chance to unwind as we head into the festive season.

We would love to see you there to celebrate another wonderful year of governance, friendship and collaboration.

Come along, connect and get into the Christmas spirit with us! 🎄
