Our Mission

In a world that is increasingly dynamic and rapidly changing, our mission is to promote excellence in corporate governance through education, networking, communication, and continuous self-improvement.

We support this mission through:

• The IN-BOARD formal education modules on corporate governance
• Ongoing education events such as Masterclasses, Governance Labs, and Roundtables
• Networking opportunities
• Sharing of director opportunities

Our Members

Around 450 alumni have qualified through the IN-BOARD or International Directors Program (IDP) and understand the responsibilities of a supervisory board role. Our members come from a diverse range of backgrounds, including listed companies, private firms, family-owned enterprises, government organizations, and consultancies. Many have cross-industry experience, are seasoned executives, and bring an international perspective along with extensive professional networks.

IDN and IN-BOARD in the Netherlands operate independently and without commercial objectives. While we do not act as intermediaries, we can assist in connecting individuals when there are requests for supervisory board candidates. For such inquiries, please contact our secretariat.

INSEAD Directors Network (IDN)

The INSEAD Directors Network (IDN) is an official INSEAD Global Alumni Club for alumni and organised by alumni, and its local chapter in the Netherlands is open to all alumni and offers in cooperation with IN-BOARD. For more click IDN

IN-BOARD: The INSEAD Governance Program – By Alumni, For Alumni

The IN-BOARD program was developed by alumni in partnership with INSEAD to provide a tailored governance education for alumni. It includes seven modules delivered over the course of a year at various locations in the Netherlands (in cooperation with specialist partners), and a final “comeback” module at INSEAD’s Fontainebleau campus.

The program covers essential topics such as compliance, risk management, and finance, as well as more nuanced areas like leadership and board dynamics. All content is framed within the context of Dutch boardroom practices.

Among its offerings is the International Directors Program (IDP), which leads to INSEAD’s Certificate in Corporate Governance for participants who meet the program’s criteria.

BoardCompanions

BoardCompanions is an alumni-led initiative that seeks to make a societal impact by supporting non-profit organizations (NPOs) with purpose-driven governance. Its members serve as independent or non-executive directors for NPOs and participate in knowledge-sharing events.

Participate

If you are an alumna or alumnus of INSEAD and wish to participate, please contact the secretariat for information on dates of the program and qualification.

We believe that members need to continue learning, to share knowledge and discuss their experiences in boards. Our partners support this initiative with their expertise.

For this reason IN-BOARD organises the Governance Lab and Master Classes.
