FAQs

Answers to your Frequently Asked Questions.

NEDonBoard membership is suited to professionals operating at or near board level, as executive or non-executive directors or on track to become a board or committee member.

As the home of board members, we meet the ongoing professional development needs of both first-time NEDs and experienced portfolio NEDs and board chairs. 

We make resources available  and propose events suited to all professionals at every stage of their career at board level. 

Our jobs board includes opportunities for first-time NEDs and more experienced and established directors. 

If you are based in the UK, where our events are hosted and looking for in-person connections and networking, we recommend that you take the Premium Membership. 

If you are based abroad, the Standard Membership is likely better suited. The Standard Membership provides unlimited access to our online platform, jobs, learning resources and virtual events. 

If you remain unsure, please contact us at [email protected]. One of the NEDonBoard team will be happy to assist you.

No pre-qualification is required. NEDonBoard encourages professionals from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences to explore non-executive director and board member roles. Nevertheless, you need to be in a position to bring a positive contribution to the board and organisation on which you aim to serve.

You do not have to be a UK resident to qualify for our NED membership. As an inclusive organisation, we welcome all professionals who are aligned with our mission and are looking for professional development opportunities, connection and inspiration. In addition to the UK and the Republic of Ireland, NEDonBoard members include professionals from the Middle East, Asia, Continental Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada.

NEDonBoard is the UK professional body and institute solely dedicated to non-executive directors and board members. As an independent membership organisation, we place the interests of our members at the core of our operations. Most of our members are experienced professionals with typically at least one board role and years of experience at board level. We welcome those on track to their first position as well and also meet the needs of highly experienced portfolio chairs. 

There are many privately-owned NED organisations, which vary widely in terms of quality. We strongly encourage you to perform your due diligence. The Institute of Board Members oversees the knowledge, skills, conduct, practice of non-executive directors and board members. The Institute is a not-for-profit organisation.

A professional body is an organisation with individual members practising a profession in which the organisation maintains an oversight of the knowledge, skills, conduct and practices of that profession. A professional body seeks to further a particular profession, the interests of individuals engaged in that profession and the public interest.

Professional organisations go through a rigorous process to be approved as a professional body and learned society. NEDonBoard became the professional body and learned society for non-executive directors and board members in 2017. The list of approved professional bodies is publicly available on the UK government website.

In the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man the term “institute” is a protected word. Organisations may only use the word if they are “organisations which are carrying out research at the highest level or to professional bodies of the highest standing”. NEDonBoard became the Institute of Board Members in 2020 on its own rights.

The Institute of Board Members oversees the knowledge, skills, conduct, practice of non-executive directors and board members. The Institute is a not-for-profit organisation.
