What the next generation of board members expect

Join us to explore what rising leaders expect, with a particular focus on Digital Fluency, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Transparency, and Real-time access. Learn how mentoring can advance the next wave of Not for Profit (NFP) board members, and how tools like BoardPro are reshaping onboarding and induction to meet the pace of modern governance.

This webinar will help boards understand how to attract, engage, and support the next generation of directors by aligning governance practices with evolving expectations.
