Professional Boards Forum

INCREASING THE NUMBER OF WOMEN NEDs
ON UK BOARDS

We help chairmen find outstanding women
Non-Executive Directors. There is no shortage
of women with the skills and appetite for new board roles and chairmen are keen to appoint more women to FTSE and other boards.

Our innovative Forum gives leading chairmen instant access to excellent NED talent and gives women an opportunity to demonstrate their strengths, experience and judgement.

"However good you are, if you are invisible you won’t get onto the radar. If you are not on the radar you are unlikely to
get the job – networking is part and parcel of the role". Sir Roger Carr, Chairman of Centrica plc & President of the CBI

Many of the UK’s most influential chairmen have
attended our events. Several Forum alumnae
have been appointed to boards of leading UK
businesses. Feedback from chairmen and
women participants for our events has been
highly positive and the Forum has been widely
covered by the business media.

The Lord Davies Report turns the spotlight on
UK boards; The Professional Boards Forum is
playing a practical role in increasing the number
of women in the boardroom.
