As boards seek to diversify perspectives and future-proof their governance, the inclusion of younger directors brings both fresh insight and unique challenges.

This session will explore the evolving role of young directors in the boardroom—what they contribute, how to support them effectively, and what it means for board dynamics and culture.

Through a panel discussion followed by an interactive Q&A, we’ll examine:

• The strategic value of generational diversity in governance
• Common barriers and misconceptions around younger directors
• Practical approaches to onboarding, mentoring, and engagement

Ideal for boards considering or already incorporating next-generation talent, this session offers real-world insights and lessons for NEDs navigating this important shift.
