Overview

Reconnect and expand your network with directors from across the Queenstown region at this informal morning tea.

Hosted by senior director Linda Robertson and Branch Manager Michelle Branford, this is a chance to network with others in the local governance community, share experiences, and hear more about the Institute of Directors, including our development programmes and the chartered pathway.

There will also be a short, informal Ask Me Anything–style session with Linda – bring your questions and insights.

Whether you're an experienced director or just starting out, we’d love to see you there. Everyone is welcome — members and non-members. Feel free to bring along a colleague or friend interested in learning more about governance.

This event is free for IoD members.
