Mentoring Programme for Aspiring Women Directors 2024 – FOR MENTEES

What is the aim of the Programme for Mentees?

The Programme aims to assist Mentees in meeting their directorship-related goals.

Benefits of the programme include:

• Gaining knowledge and skills that will help them take up the role as a non-executive director, enabling them to contribute as peers in the boardroom
• Gaining insights into their unique value proposition for boards
• Increasing their practical knowledge of governance issues in companies and not-for-profits and company and not-for-profit boards operate
• Gaining valuable insight, advice, and guidance on the process of selecting and appointing new directors
• Obtaining advice and guidance relevant to board roles and challenges
• Fostering and enhancing connections with influential business leaders; and
• Developing and growing as directors and people, understanding the Programme is one element in their director journeys.

In the long-term, we believe that the Programme will provide Mentees with a Mentor’s advice, guidance, and support so that they may contribute effectively as directors and achieve their professional development goals.

The Programme also provides Mentees with the opportunity to develop their skills to become future Mentors themselves so that they may “pay it forward” to another generation of aspiring board directors.

Finally, the Programme will also allow mentees to network with past and current chairs and Directors of companies and not-for-profits in Singapore.

Note: Although we believe the Programme will assist Mentees in achieving board appointments, this is neither the role of, nor within the control of, either the Mentor or BoardAgender.
