Underpinned by global perspectives of exceptional leadership
THIS PROGRAM IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND.
IMPACT brings together motivated board officers and aspiring board leaders from high performing associations and non-profits from around the world. The 12-week program is strengthened by the support of a personal, professional mentor, and reinforced through peer support.
OUR FOCUS
Our focus is on realising impact for everyone in an association: the board, the staff and, ultimately the members. A director’s participation in IMPACT will:
- Have a direct and positive impact on a board’s performance, culture and relationships;
- Underpin constructive understanding and partnership between the board with paid staff; and
- Add value to the member experience through the influence of high-performing directors on board decision-making and strategic business planning.

Prior to starting the program, participants will complete the Board Competency Audit, not as a test but to provide a benchmark for measuring individual and cohort performance, and for identifying any immediate development priorities. Participants will repeat the exercise at the end of the program to demonstrate their progress and to identify any additional or outstanding development needs.
