Seminar:

Women’s Directorship and Gender Diversity in The Boardroom

Executive Education, HKU Business School
& CFA Institute

Gender-balanced boards are proven to bring greater business success. At the same time, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are crucial elements leading to better team performance and to better serve our diverse society. However, despite years of advocacy and thought leadership, we still see certain imbalance in the financial industry, especially in boardrooms.

In the meantime, the pandemic and economic uncertainties have created new challenges for leaders, with respect to business recovery, talent acquisition and retention, stewardship, and other compliance matters.

In this upcoming event, HKU Business School Executive Education and CFA Institute are joining hands to organise an in-person event for us to learn from the industry leaders about their strategies in managing changes effectively and to promote gender diversity in the boardrooms. Audience could also engage with each other and become advocates for this important matter.
