Showcase: 21st Century Director Mentoring

  • 12 April 2022 - a 60 minute webinar

Thanks to the remarkable evolution of Corporate Governance over the past two decades, Boards of Directors have become Learning Boards. Being a Director is now a profession; Directors do not “sit” anymore but “serve” on a Board. Duties and responsibilities of Directors have seen a dramatic increase. Listen to, learn from and engage with key speakers, Charlotte Valeur and mentor Patrice Lasserre.
