In collaboration with the 30% Club Malaysia, ICDM is proud to host a dynamic and empowering Board Interview Dialogue session tailored for aspiring female directors and future board leaders.

This exclusive morning event will bring together seasoned board members and corporate leaders to provide first-hand insights into one of the most critical - yet often least understood milestones in the board journey: the BOARD INTERVIEW. Participants will gain practical tips and real-world advice on what boards are truly looking for when assessing potential candidates. Topics will include how to prepare for a board interview, ways to effectively communicate readiness and value, questions to ask during the process and how to demonstrate alignment with a board’s purpose and culture.
