Commenting on the launch of the series, Maura Quinn, Institute of Directors’ Chief Executive, said:
“The Leadership Series is designed to cater for our growing and broadening membership of 2,700 business leaders who must constantly innovate, adapt and respond to challenges and opportunities in their businesses. The support and knowledge of Mason Hayes & Curran is invaluable in delivering the expert view through this series and the line-up for the first event certainly hasn’t failed to impress.”
The Leadership Series will bring together expert panels of recognised leaders and contributors throughout the year to share their insights and experiences exclusively with IoD members. The series runs from February to November with four panel discussions taking place in Dublin, facilitated by Kevin Rafter, Professor of Political Communication at DCU.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Claire Lord, Partner, Mason Hayes & Curran, said: “We regularly work with great leaders and understand the many challenges they face. Supporting this event is a natural fit for our firm and we look forward to hearing the different approaches to leadership and how to build successful teams and businesses.”
