IoD Presents New Courses For March
The Institute of Directors Bermuda [IoD] announced two upcoming courses this month.
A spokesperson said, “The Role of the Chair, and the next scheduled course in the Certificate in Company Direction [CICD] qualification, The Role of the Director and the Board.
“The Role of the Chair, will take place virtually on March 24 from 9:00am to 5:00pm and will be facilitated by Mr Damon Clark.
“The board chair has a critical influence on a board’s style, composition, balance and performance,” says Danielle Riviere, IoD Bermuda Executive Director. “This course provides a unique opportunity to review the chair’s role in light of current legal requirements and good practice.”
“The Role of the Chair course is specifically designed to build knowledge for successfully leading a board, developing more effective boards and making proper use of both executive and non-executive directors.
