On Thursday and Friday of last week, 25 aspiring non-execs from across the country gathered at the Anchor Trust offices in Covent Garden for an inspiring two days exploring good governance, the board dynamic, the skills they would need as non-execs, and took time away from their day-to-day commitments to examine where they were on their non-exec journeys and where they wanted to be.

From quizzing a variety of experienced non-executives, to being quizzed themselves in a series of mock interviews and application writing workshops, the participants left inspired and motivated, and raring to find new opportunities for themselves. The feedback we received for the programme was unanimously glowing, and we’re obviously delighted with how it turned out.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all the contributors and participants for helping to make the programme such a valuable experience, and also to the Anchor Trust for the great venue.

If you’re interested in participating in the next About Time programme, we’re currently accepting applications for the next programme, which will run on the 25 & 26 March 2010.
