Influence engagement webinar ESG Priorities for UK companies
Join the IoD Kent Ambassadors ‘Influence’ Sub-Committee in a quarterly 60 minutes online presentation and discussion.
‘Better Directors Build a Better World’
The IoD believes that ‘Better Directors Build a Better World’. Over the next 3 years (2021- 2023) the newly formed IoD Kent Influence sub-committee will be reaching out on a quarterly basis to IoD Members in an online Presentation & Discussion format in support of this belief.
The IoD Kent Influence sub-committee comprises William English CBE, Chair & Ambassador for Policy and Corporate Governance, and Lesley Bennett, Senior Branch Manager for IoD Kent and SE Region.
Each event will be just 60mins long and include a guest speaker speaking for 15 minutes, followed by 25 minutes of open forum discussion on the chosen subject. In the last 5 minutes the Chair will sum up with some key take-aways and signposting to further study in the topic of the day.
We hope Members will find these events both intellectually stimulating and an opportunity to broaden their network across the IoD community.
Topic to be announced shortly.
