Join the WBF for an online CPD on becoming a board member – including how you can, and why you should, consider taking on a governance role. Jennifer Robertson (CEO, Board Matters) and Dominique Hogan-Doran SC will present, with Naomi Sharp SC as facilitator.

• An overview of what a board role typically involves
• The sorts of positions you might consider applying for
• What makes a strong candidate
• Steps you can take to make your application more competitive
• Essential skills for board members
• Managing board commitments alongside practice as a barrister
