DIRECTOR CONNECT Not long ago a directorship was a privilege, involving an occasional meeting, some supporting questions, a fee and a lunch – but not now. More is expected of directors and members of governing bodies than ever before.  The position of a company director is onerous. Directors must conduct their affairs honestly, legally and in the interest of the company. They must disclose conflicts and not use information for their own benefit. They must act fairly between shareholders and act with care and skill expected of someone with their knowledge and experience. If there are disputes or problems then the conduct of the board and the basis for the decisions they made becomes critical. The need for directors to be fully informed, up-to-date and aware of their responsibilities has never been greater. The Director Connect  Cluster is a collaborative network of expert independent businesses (Solution Partners) which offer services to leaders, directors, boards and governing bodies.  The Cluster is a resource center containing expert articles, frequently asked questions, sample documents, libraries, web-resources and other tools. Regular monthly webinars are held where expert panelists discuss current issues and where you can interact with the moderator to put your questions forward online. Interact with experts and CEO’s from across the globe and find out the latest thinking in your industry. Use a secure web-portal to enable leaders to collaborate like never before; to stay connected, informed and alerted to the activities of the company and its business environment.
