I am not sure I have time to be on a board “I’ll do it when…”
Get started. Start small. Just joining a local community or charity board now will mean that when you reach the point in your career where you can take on larger paid roles, like those below, you will have gained some knowledge and experience.
I usually post roles from our Women on Boards UK vacancy board on Fridays. Roles on arts boards, sports boards, housing associations and NHS Trusts. I do my weekly post to encourage companies to see the value and help their staff get started on the leadership development that being a NED brings.
Our individual members get access to our vacancy board of roles, 1:1 interview support, our resource centre, our community of other people all looking for their first board roles. Corporates like those on the link buy packages of memberships for staff (plus our flagship Talks and Workshops).
However, as it’s Summer, I am just posting one biggie a week.
Have a great weekend!
