Description

Whether you are interested in joining a company or not-for-profit board, or an executive committee, there are two marketing tools that every aspiring director needs to underpin their application – a quality board CV and effective interview skills.

Join Women in Energy for the second event in its ‘Journey to the Boardroom’ series, an interactive workshop facilitated by Alison Gaines to help new and aspiring directors in developing these important marketing tools.

Drinks and canapés will be provided. Places are strictly limited, so secure your spot now!

While the primary focus of Women in Energy is to promote the interests of women in the industry, it is an inclusive network in which men are encouraged to participate and attend our events.
