A new concept in Executive and Non-Executive Director Support from the Jersey International Business School

The world is a much tougher place for directors of financial services businesses and the funds and other corporate structures they manage and administer. Boards face a growing array of legal obligations and rising expectations of their performance following the credit crisis and a succession of corporate scandals and failures. It is imperative that all directors bring up-to-date knowledge and skills to their work if Jersey is to retain its premier offshore status, as well as for their own protection.

Club (N)ED has been designed to equip directors in Jersey with the information and expertise they need to ensure that they remain fully effective in the boardroom, as well as technically proficient in compliance with their regulatory obligations. Members will interact with directors from Jersey and elsewhere, thus benefiting from the hard-won experience of others in their peer group.

Format of the events will be interactive rather than talk-and-tell.

Key features

• Director-specific development and networking events
• Top quality speakers
• Informal, interactive format (not talk-and-tell)
• An uncompromising commitment to quality combined with a strong emphasis on value for money
• Relevant, topical and insightful presentations
