We are in full swing with the EWOB Board Readiness Program! Our spring cohort just completed session 4 on fiduciary and financial responsibilities of a non-executive director. Thank you Dr. Maria A. Boerner and Claire Toumieux from Allen & Overy for the insightful and particularly interactive discussion rich in practical examples. To all (aspiring) board directors, remember this important phrase: 👉 'Noses in, Fingers out'! Inquire thoughtfully, follow up with discernment, yet refrain from involving yourself in the operational side of the business. This is how an effective non-executive director works with the management and executives. 👉 And keep in mind: you don't need to know everything but for sure you need to know who to ask in the company. As we are all getting ready for our final session - in 2 weeks (!) - we want to thank all the participants for their engagement and commitment so far!

Good advice! It can be tempting to become involved operationally, but that i snot what we are there to do.

I'll be sure to remember the "Noses in and fingers out" rule. Thank you Dr. Maria A. Boerner and Claire Toumieux.
