Join us for an insightful webinar where you will hear from two of IPSE’s non-executive directors (NEDs). They will give you an inside view into what Boards do, the benefits of becoming a non-executive director and how to take your first steps to find a role. 

As someone who is self-employed – irrespective of whether you are an independent professional, a freelancer or have a side hustle – board roles are a great way to to enhance your career, expand your network, learn about other organisations and contribute to society more broadly.

This webinar, presented by Rosie Halfhead and Joe Woodhouse, will cover:

• Role of Boards: Understand the strategic and oversight responsibilities of NEDs and how they drive business performance and organisational success.
• Personal and career benefits: Learn how NED roles can enhance your skills and professional reputation, offer a fulfilling way to share and apply your experience, and potentially boost your finances.
• The value of skills and experience: We'll discuss the skills and experiences wanted for non-executive director positions – they're not just for late-career executives. Find out how your unique background can be an asset.
• Getting started: Receive practical advice on how to pursue NED opportunities, including networking strategies, building your personal brand, and navigating the application process.
• IPSE and beyond: IPSE will be holding an election for additional directors later this year. This webinar will help to demystify the path to the boardroom and what goes on there, and perhaps encourage you to consider a NED role at IPSE?

Don't miss this chance to grow your career and make a lasting impact by joining a board. Register now and take the first step towards a new chapter of professional growth and fulfilment.

This webinar will be hosted by Rosie Halfhead and Joe Woodhouse who are both NEDs at IPSE. Rosie is an independent appointed director and joined in early 2022 and Joe was elected to the board in late 2023.  They both hold other board roles and will be delighted to share experiences, insights and anecdotes about their board journeys to date in what we hope will be an engaging and interactive session.
