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.
For individuals taking the first step into a non-executive career, targeting either compensated or pro-bono board roles, who would like support to position themselves as a credible non-executive, develop their non-executive skillset, and expand their NED network.
