Corporate membership

With a corporate membership, company board and management members can participate in the association's 14 annual events, which provide a professional forum for further development of the individual's board competences and networks. Corporate membership gives access to a place in the Danish Board Association's Corporate Governance Network. The network brings together companies responsible for board service and the development of board work. For the participants, it is both a professional and personal network.

Companies of all ownership types and sizes can become members of Bestyrelsesforeningen. Current members consist mainly of C25 companies, other listed companies, fund- and family-owned companies, institutional investors, commercial funds, advisory companies, leading business organisations and publicly owned companies/organisations.

The Board Association operates on a non-profit basis. The association's member companies contribute to covering the association's costs for conference activities. However, it is also the company contribution that enables the development of initiatives such as ecoDa and the cyber project, both of which help to strengthen the competitive conditions for Danish business. Many member companies' board members and executives also choose - on an ad hoc basis - to contribute with speeches, dialogue and knowledge development in connection with the association's professional events.

Personal membership

The basic criterion for individual membership is experience in professional board work and/or completion of a relevant board education. Particularly Danish board educations at CBS Board Educations and Børsen's Board Education, as well as international board educations from recognised institutions, are considered relevant educations. We also expect you to have a desire to develop yourself professionally and to join the large network of board professionals in the environment surrounding the Danish Directors Association. 

The Board Leadership Society's many events provide a professional forum for your further development. 12-14 professional events annually ensure that you as a member have the opportunity to stay updated with learning and perspectives from leading board professionals, companies, and professors. And there is a broad framework for networking based on The Board Leadership Society's many members.
