- AICD Director’s course
- Director capability assessment
- Quarterly coaching/mentoring sessions for one year
- One-year Future Exchange membership. Future Exchange is a community for boards and executives to access learning, insights, events, networking, and career support through the Future Leadership ecosystem.
