BeOnBoard - Delivering on Diversity

The BeOnBoard Programme aims to support businesses and organisations to improve the diversity of their Governing Bodies and Boards. By specifically providing a pool of competent women and men from diverse backgrounds. In short, the BeOnBoard programme seeks to:

Identify emerging leaders from diverse backgrounds in terms of ethnicity and gender.
Support their development providing the training required to make them board-ready.
Provide network platforms to connect business Boards to potential Board members from diverse backgrounds.
Provide mentoring and coaching to ensure the post-placement candidate’s success.

The BeOnBoard programme has been designed in response to increased interest from businesses in attracting a greater pool of diverse, talented and well-prepared Board members. In order to fully benefit from this shift, BeOnBoard delivers training for candidates to develop their leadership skills and make them ready for Board opportunities in the city. Start Here

“I support BeOnBoard because the outcomes achieved as a result of having a diverse board speak for themselves. It’s a win: win for individuals and businesses." — Donna Whitehead, Pro Vice-Chancellor, University of the West of England
