Overview

Whether you’re a new member looking to build connections, a current member keen to reconnect, or simply curious about the Institute of Directors, this is a great opportunity to network and engage in thought-provoking discussions.

Join IoD Canterbury branch committee members Lloyd Mander CFInstD and Anna Bolland MInstD for coffee and conversation. Both members and non-members are warmly invited to attend.

Lloyd Mander

CFInstD

Lloyd is a member of the New Zealand Institute of Directors’ Canterbury Branch, and is a member of the Institute’s National Council where he serves on the Membership and Standards Committees.

He's all about "creating value, by valuing difference". Therefore Lloyd leads DOT Scorecard, a research consultancy that works with boards and senior teams facing complexity to improve group decision-making capability through developing an enabling culture and leveraging cognitive diversity.

In his previous executive life, Lloyd co-founded, grew, and sold a healthcare business. He’s then spent the last decade supporting good governance in areas such as community housing, energy, transport and the commercialisation of new technologies, as either a board member or in an advisory capacity.

Anna Bolland

MInstD

Anna is a leadership and culture strategist who positively influences and challenges boards, leaders, teams, and individuals. With extensive experience across most industries in both public and private sectors, she works on building the foundation within organisations in both systems and people for growth and impact.

Passionate about human behaviour and the power of neuroscience, Anna brings a fresh perspective to leadership development, team dynamics, culture, wellbeing, strategic direction, and brand. She specialises in unlocking potential in people and businesses alike.

Anna currently holds three governance roles in the not-for-profit and education sectors in South Canterbury and is deeply committed to ongoing development in this space. Giving back to the community is a core value: she is a motivational speaker, mentors young adults, and co-founded a foundation in Papua New Guinea focused on early childhood education in rural areas. Together with her husband, she has owned three businesses.
