DENMARK'S MOST EXCLUSIVE BOARD NETWORK

Your professional development network

BOARD NETWORK

Board Network – Since it´s foundation in 2012, The Danish Professional Directors Association has been the leading forum for mutual inspiration between experienced board members. Recently, we have also developed a membership for those who are new to the board work.

At Board Network, we have been leading in setting/appointing the agenda for good board work for more than a decade and have always been among the first to identify and articulate new trends in the board and corporate governance area.

We offer various channels for inspiration and development, large conferences, smaller roundtable meetings, Danish and international webinars, frequent newsletters and our own quarterly magazine, Board Perspectives. Furthermore, we publish a global board survey every year, where the latest edition included responses from as many as 1,800 board chairmen and board members from a total of 79 countries.
