This was followed by a fireside chat with Karen Tay Koh, moderated by Shai Ganu, BoardAgender’s committee member, where she shared her experiences and lessons learned during her board journey, providing inspirational and valuable insights. We appreciate the wonderful pieces of advice shared by Karen, which included staying curious, building chemistry and embracing serendipity.
Designed with the objective of guiding and supporting women to achieve their directorship-related aspirations, the programme paired ten next-generation female directors in Singapore with experienced director-mentors. Throughout the past six months, our mentees acquired invaluable insights into crucial skills essential to serving on a board from their mentors, and other sessions with experienced directors and other partners.
More details on applying for the 2024 programme will be announced in March 2024. Visit here for further information: https://boardagender.org/mentees/ .
