Event Details

Whether you've got a small business or you work in big business, emerging leaders often aspire to some-day get a seat at the boardroom table. However, when aiming for senior leadership roles how should you go about learning complex governance frameworks and hone your career to develop a unique skillset to shape the future direction of an organisation?


To help guide us to the top, the BJCC is back with a member-favourite panel discussion Journey to the Boardroom on Thursday 27 July 2023 at Tattersall's Club, Brisbane City, from 5:30pm-8pm.


In partnership with the Governance Institute of Australia and Women on Boards, our esteemed panel will share their personal career journeys and tell us straight what it takes to get a seat at the boardroom table and how to get board-ready to make a meaningful contribution from the outset.


This event will sell out! Check out the photos from last year's Journey to the Boardroom event here.


The BJCC is a strong advocate for ensuring the collective voice of emerging leaders is heard in the long-term strategy discussions of the city. We're proud to have the support of peak bodies such as the Governance Institute of Australia and Women on Boards to support our members and emerging leaders across Brisbane access the arena of senior leadership.
