For a 7-hour course, this programme provided a good perspective, overlay of the issues and risks regarding board governance, and the factors a board member must take into consideration to do her/his role effectively.

The case studies provide good insight into the roles and responsibilities of a board director. It also reminded us that working with a non-profit one may face more challenges than a for-profit organization.

Even for someone who has studied board governance, I’m getting a lot from your insight, content and case studies. Really well done.

The Risk session has given me a brand new perspective of assessing and managing risk.
