Patrons

Like other Chapters around the globe, a group of leading Patrons was established, composed of very prominent and respected individuals who are willing to volunteer and act as ambassadors for the initiative.

Patrons support the aim of the chapter by linking their personal brand to developing the Chapter, raising awareness of its work, encouraging other non-executive directors to get involved, interacting with members and other stakeholders, and providing feedback to the board.
