Global Directors Council
A room worth being in, so we keep it that way
The Council is a verified community of chairs and directors. Membership is by application, so every conversation stays genuinely peer to peer. It takes two minutes to apply.
- Genuinely global peers. Chairs and directors across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the Middle East, the US and Canada, and South Africa, verified before they join.
- Events, content, data and introductions. Roundtables and the annual forum, The Resolution, quarterly benchmark insights, and warm introductions to peers worldwide.
- First year free. Then $500 a year, and free forever if you, or any board you sit on, uses BoardOutlook.
We verify every applicant, usually within 48 hours. It is a light check, not a hurdle, and you will hear from us either way.

What membership gives you
Four pillars, one community
The parts of the job that usually live apart, in one place. The people you learn from, the peers we introduce you to, the thinking that keeps you sharp, and the evidence of where your board really stands.
Connect
Roundtables under the Chatham House rule, governance briefings and member gatherings, with peers facing the same questions you are.
Sharpen
The Resolution. Practical writing and podcasts on the craft of governance, published for directors, not consultants. The full library as it lands.
Benchmark
Quarterly insights drawn from nearly a decade of data, hundreds of processes each year across the world's best boards, benchmarked and anonymised, so you can see how boards are really performing.
Introduce
Facilitated, one-to-one introductions to directors at peer organisations around the world, personally matched to the questions you are facing.
