IoD West Midlands Magazine - Spring 2019

We are pleased to announce the Spring edition of our magazine in which we hear from cybersecurity expert Professor Prashant Pillai about digital connectivity and Director of the Year 2018 winner, Carmen Watson about inclusivity. We also catch up with the adi group, who hosted the first of our Chair's Best Practice visits and keep a look out for our key takeaways from our brilliant International Women's Day event surrounding this year's theme #BalanceForBetter.
