NED, chairman and other recruitment opportunities continue to be emailed to members.  A recent NED search project advertised to members had such a good response that the shortlist were interviewed and an appointment made within a week.  Another had short listed candidates within 14 dyas.  If you are a member interested in such opportunities, remember you only hear of them if you have registered - see appointments.  Companies and their advisors seeking NEDs see NED Search re the advertising opportunity.
