About the GUBERNA Directors Community
The GUBERNA Directors Community brings together all alumni who have completed a programme at GUBERNA and wish to continue developing as forward-looking, responsible and impactful directors. It is a dynamic and engaged network where board members meet, exchange experiences, and collectively contribute to strengthening governance in Belgium and beyond. As governance evolves and expectations towards directors increase, the community provides a trusted environment for reflection, peer learning, and continuous growth. Alumni are encouraged to join the GUBERNA Alumni Talk group on LinkedIn to stay connected with fellow directors.
What does the GUBERNA Directors Community do?
The Directors Community offers a variety of opportunities for engagement and growth. Each year, the Directors Assembly gathers certified directors and alumni to explore current governance challenges, exchange ideas, and gain strategic insights. This annual event combines inspiration, dialogue, and networking, reinforcing the sense of belonging within the community.
Alumni can also participate in Sounding Board Committees, initiatives created by members themselves. These committees bring together like-minded directors around specific themes such as sustainability, cybersecurity, or startups and scale-ups. They provide a platform for in-depth knowledge sharing, collaboration, and the exchange of practical experiences, allowing participants to reflect on real-world challenges and benefit from peer expertise.
In addition, the Directors Community organises a wide range of activities throughout the year, from networking events to thematic meetings. All alumni are welcome to attend GUBERNA’s courses and events, which offer opportunities to deepen knowledge, expand networks, and continuously grow as directors. By combining structured learning with peer-driven initiatives, the community supports its members at every stage of their professional journey.
