The role of the Non-Executive Director can appear to those sitting outside of Boards to be shrouded in secrecy. What is a Non-Executive Director? What do they do? And why be a Non-Executive Director?
Jointly in our roles advising the Boards of a range of organisations, and the Directors who sit on them, we
are often asked what information a new Non-Executive Director should be aware of. Through combining our experience and perspective in providing Board advice, we have attempted to provide a Guide that answers both the ‘obvious’ questions to ask and issues to be aware of, together with the detail and summary of the working mechanics of the Board and the key legislation Non-Executive Directors need to understand.
Managing Director of Avalon Ventures, Brady Bohrmann, shares powerful insights to build an effective board of directors, how to choose your board members, how to run an effective meeting and more.
Whether you are considering forming a board or want to enhance existing governance practices, understanding the role of the board and expectations of directors is an essential ingredient to successful, value-added governance in private companies. Company leaders and board directors often struggle to determine the role of the board and how to separate board responsibilities from those of ownership and management. In this webinar, the audience will learn what companies are really looking for (or should be) from their boards, and the many ways that boards contribute to private company success. We will cover the definition of a board, typical expectations of a director, board oversight vs. management responsibilities, and many other basics of board formation and operation.

The Effective Director (Series: Board of Directors Boot Camp 2020) Financial Poise
While we think of a board as a functioning entity, much of the success of the board relies on the individual behavior of its directors. During this program, we talk about some of the productive and problematic behavior that can show up in the boardroom, and the effect that it can have on board effectiveness. We look at what’s expected of directors from ownership and management, and share examples of the ways that a highly effective director can help to meet or exceed those expectations and make a meaningful contribution to the company’s success.
