    So, You Want To Be A Board Director?

    For seasoned corporate leaders, becoming a board director can be a powerful way to go beyond executive roles and contribute at a strategic level.

    What exactly are the roles, duties, and liabilities of a board director? How do they work effectively with management? What skills, knowledge, and qualifications are essential to lead successfully from the boardroom? And how can you chart your path towards a board appointment?

    Join us for an “Ask Me Anything” style dialogue with experienced board directors and representatives from the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) — the national association for company directors in Singapore — and gain first-hand insights into all things directorship.
