Leaders' Series 2011
The purpose of this discussion series is to bring together executives of international development organisations to hear engaging perspectives on common issues of strategic organisational and sector importance followed by an opportunity to network.
Directors’ Dialogues 2009-2010
In 2009, Bond led a series of six Directors’ Dialogues, which were breakfast or lunchtime closed meetings at Chatham House attended by directors of Bond member organisations. Directors were able to confidentially share experience and receive peer advice on survival and adaptation strategies in response to the extraordinary economic conditions affecting their organisations. There was considerable appetite for a successor to these events, with directors keen for more external perspectives.
Leaders’ Series 2011
Building on this success, Bond convened a new bi-monthly series of discussions for directors or senior executives of member organisations, starting from January 2011.
