Program at a Glance
Diversity On Board is proud to launch the third Emerging Board Leaders Fellowship (EBLF) board accelerator, powered by HSBC. The Fellowship is designed to accelerate high-potential, exceptional, Arab and North African women and men, on their path to the boardroom.
Fellows will gain the necessary fiduciary, risk and governance skills, support, and mentorship to qualify as competitive and effective board directors, as well as the exposure and access to networks for board placement. With the current global humanitarian and economic crisis, additional dimensions to the responsiveness of leadership and upper management will be integrated into the program.
Consequently, the fellowship will heavily emphasize climate risks, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Fellows are expected to make a commitment to ESG in their current work and future directorship roles. The program will also incorporate emerging and exponential technologies critical to our changing world.
