THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOARDS

Did you know you are never too young to start a board career?

Paul Smith, co-founder and CEO of Future Directors Institute, helps empower and connect the next generation of board directors. He is Chair of the Jane Goodall Institute Australia and a director of several start-ups. 

Future Directors Institute provides training and connection to aspiring board directors aged 20-50 (GenX and GenY). Their successful Board Kickstarter Program helps younger professionals understand what it takes to be an effective board director, but importantly how to get there in the first place! It’s no longer all about who you know, it’s also about making the right choices, knowing yourself and articulating this in a way that attracts boards.Next generation directors are in increasing demand as they bring new perspectives. You could say they see the world through the lens of where the world is going, not where it’s been. Just ask their youngest graduate (aged 20) who has secured a prestigious role with a industry association. 

We will get under the hood with Paul to find out how we can;

• Learn how to start a board career earlier than you’d traditionally expect
• Understand what is expected of younger directors
• Achieve success at work and in the boardroom

Don't have time to listen to it all? Here is a 'sneak peek' of the webinar with Paul Lyons.
