Why NEDonBoard launched its board best practice series and why best practice documents and panel events benefit non-executive director and board members

NEDonBoard launched its board best practice series in 2017. Here are the 3 reasons behind our commitment to publish board best practice guides:

• Connection: NEDonBoard connects professionals around a best practice topic. Professionals include seasoned executives, non-executive directors, consultants and boardroom experts. They constitute our taskforce and contribute to the various brainstorming sessions that lead to the guide. NEDonBoard hosts an event on the back of each board best practice’ task force and guide.
• Knowledge: NEDonBoard provides professional development content to its audience of aspiring and experienced non-executive directors and board members. The best practice guide aims at advancing knowledge among non-executive directors and board members.
• Authority: NEDonBoard sets the standards for effective governance within the non-executive director and board member community. We represent the voice of non-executive directors and board members in the UK as the Professional Body. We provide guidance to non-executive directors and board members in the exercise of their professional responsibility.

To date, our members had the opportunity to hear about board best practices on the following topics:

• The NED role
• The Audit Committee
• Succession planning

Here are the 10 reasons why you should be engaged in our board best practice events:

1. Share with the NEDonBoard audience what board best practices you have experienced
2. Interact with peers on a given topic, debate view and progress
3. Increase your visibility
4. Be associated with a board best practice topic
5. Mentor aspiring non-executive directors and executives
6. Hear from experts on a topic that is relevant to the Boardroom and your role as a non-executive director and/or a board member
7. Focus on your professional development
8. Meet with peers and build relationships
9. Prepare for your next role as a non-executive director and/or a board member
10. Strengthen your skillset
