The leading governance programme for board members.

Our Mission

Our aim is to always have a positive impact on the composition and diversity of boards across the private, public and voluntary sectors. Our programmes help to create a pool of competent and able board members from a range of backgrounds but with a particular focus on age, gender and ethnicity and a route to securing appropriate appointments.
