Pathways to Board Project - The Journey
•
Reality check!!! Most Boards are NOT diverse!
•
A shared commitment to develop greater
diversity on Boards
Pathways to Board Project - The Journey
•
Identify Placement Training
Mentoring Shadowing Interviewing Appoint Onboarding Support
The first step to
identify potential
board members
through the founding
members and beyond
After identifying the
potential board
members, we will
select potential
board members
and process their
details and agree
for them to start the
program
We will identify the
training program and
agree dates of
delivery and location
We will identify
suitable mentors for
individuals and dates
to introduce them to
their mentors
In conjunction with the
mentoring we will
arrange shadowing for
individuals to sit and
observe existing board
sessions
After everyone
completes the
program, we will
arrange mock exams
for individuals to
prepare for board
interviews
Once an individual is
successful to join a
board, we will support
them for 6 months
