✦︎ ENTER THE BOARDROOM COMMUNITY ✦︎

Full membership for expanding a NED portfolio

Building better boards, together.
Access board roles • Expand your connections • Sharpen judgement • Stay ahead of emerging governance trends
Backed by Nurole's track record of 4,000+ placements from SMEs to the FTSE 350.

Why Enter the Boardroom Community?

Building a NED portfolio is highly competitive - it takes most people 30 applications before success, and keeping knowledge relevant as a board member is increasingly difficult as the world becomes more complex.

Most networks just give you access to people or information. Built from Nurole's expertise placing 4,000+ non-executives on boards, Enter the Boardroom Community gives you structured programmes delivered by experts, insights on emerging governance to stay current from a 'been there, done that audience', and unmatched access to compensated and pro-bono board roles so you never miss the next career step.

Who is this
membership for?

For individuals with their first few board roles, who are now ready for more complex and competitive board roles. Also for board members who recognise the need to stay current in the boardroom in order to have a stance on emerging issues, and are open to learning from their peers’ experiences to sharpen judgement.

What our
members say

“I felt I needed a lot of help as I was coming back from 18 years working outside the UK. The first thing was they [Enter the Boardroom Community] helped me formulate my CV.... The team gave me personal assistance. And the other hugely important help I got was in relation to the cover letter where, again, I was given some fantastic tips to make sure it stood out.... I can thoroughly recommend Enter the Boardroom Community. I was successful and got my first paid non-executive role.
Yolisa Phahle

“I think it is really important when you are going through a career transition to invest in yourself and also to get an accurate appraisal of fit and readiness. These are the reasons why I am a member of the Nurole Plus community. The platform has a super range of resources and personally I’ve really appreciated the opportunity to expand my network, both through virtual and in-person events. "
Paul Beaver
Growth Strategist, Technology & Digital advisor & Non-Executive Director
“I am highly impressed with the Community's dedication to empowering candidates to become successful non-executives. Their focus on regular training and mentoring has greatly enhanced my understanding of the nuances of a successful application process and helped me secure significant NED roles in a relatively short period."
Aysegul Sabanci
NED Forterra Plc, TClark, Code for Construction Product Information.
“I use it to share insights, hear more from peers, pose questions to a 'been there, done that' audience, and consider different perspectives. Any non-exec will tell you the power of their network and this community has added to mine considerably.”
Craig Unsworth
Chair, High Speed Training & cazenove+loyd
"The community has been an excellent opportunity to step back, exchange insights with fellow NEDs, and reflect on what it takes to contribute meaningfully in today’s boardrooms."
