Overview

The Branch Chair Breakfast Club is a new member-only initiative designed to foster open, honest dialogue around governance and leadership. Held monthly, these pay-as-you-go breakfasts offer directors an opportunity to connect in a small, trusted setting and share insights that matter.

This session offers the chance to ask questions and learn through shared experiences. It’s an opportunity to seek guidance, build your governance capability, and connect with peers and senior directors in an informal and supportive environment.

We’re delighted to welcome Chartered Fellow Albert Brantley as our special guest. Join Albert, Branch Chair Hannah Doney, and fellow IoD members for candid conversation and fresh perspectives.

Spaces are limited. If this event is fully booked, please email canterbury.branch@iod.org.nz to join the waitlist.
