Non-executive directors play a central role in corporate governance in companies, but increasing levels of boardroom regulation and risk have placed greater demands on the NED. As the role and responsibilities widen, a thorough understanding of the challenges and changes facing an NED is necessary.

We are holding the first of what we hope will become a regular event for NEDs in the North West region.

Please join us at this seminar which will provide an opportunity to network and meet other NEDs, and keep up to date with current developments such as:

• Board effectiveness
• The Bribery Act
• A review of topical governance matters

Time: 12:30-14:30
