The program provides a rare opportunity for young people with board director aspirations to participate in board meetings and be exposed to the board process in a leading not for profit organisation. Successful candidates learn about governance and establish valuable contacts and networks to help them in their careers.<\/p>\n

Emerging Leaders are paid to attend quarterly board meetings.<\/p>\n
