Dear Alumni,
Over the past 29 years a unique community has been formed, comprised of everybody who has attended a Directors’ Forum – whether as a participant, advisor or as a role player. This novel learning experience – I can think of no other programme quite like it – really is a case of art imitating life, and provides three days of intense creative activity.
This is why I am delighted that Spencer Stuart has established the Directors’ Forum Alumni Programme – an initiative which will ensure that attendance at a Directors’ Forum is not an end in itself, but rather the beginning of a professional journey that you will undertake together with your fellow participants.
With over 750 members, including some of the most experienced business figures in the country, there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise to be harnessed and shared amongst you all.
The exchange of knowledge and guidance that the Programme promotes, together with the willingness of participants to give freely of their time, means the Alumni Programme is a unique opportunity for all to hone their boardroom skills.
So, welcome to the Programme and I hope it will be of real value to you in your career.
Ruth Kennedy
Chair, Directors' Forum Alumni
