Join us in an informal and intimate boardroom style event with Shirley Chowdhary who will offer insights into what women can do to equip and ready themselves for Board life, and how to be a successful board director.
This event is targeted at women who are considering non-executive director roles in the future. There will be opportunities to ask questions and network over refreshments.
