Being a Director Carries Responsibility
A Director is not simply an honorary title. Formal Directors may have legal and governance duties connected with the organisation and its registered company structure.
Applicants should therefore be willing to understand their responsibilities, declare conflicts of interest, participate appropriately in decision-making and act responsibly.
