Are you board ready?

How women can shape their director career networking evening

With the registration of women on ASX 200 boards sitting at 25.3% at the end of 2016, there is still work to be done to promote a greater gender balance in our boardrooms.

This joint event initiative between Brisbane Women’s Club and AICD aims to assist women interested in developing board careers. We have gathered an experiencd panel of female board members from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors to share their tips and provide practical advice on:

• Understanding the current context surrounding board appointments;
• Identifying requisite and desirable technical and leadership skills and experience; and
• Career structuring in order to obtain board appointments.

Join us at this special event to hear how diverse group of senior women have shaped their board careers.
