About Eileen

She has held  Non-Executive roles within, Health, Regulation and Funding. Never shying away from a challenge, Eileen ticked delivering a TEDx Talk off her bucket list and her idea worth sharing was “make time for what matters to you”.

Why Eileen does what she does

My appetite for boards, governance and good practice was sparked 25 years ago. Being on a Board or Committee seemed so out of reach for me. I had this one question that kept coming up – could someone like me be in the Boardroom?

Driven by curiosity and desire to serve, I began searching for committee/board roles that I could apply for and play my part. It was never easy to find these! Some were never advertised – others were, but they were still hard to find. So this website’s primary purpose is to connect those wishing to serve on our boards across the public and third sectors, with boards that are seeking a diverse range of committed individuals with the skills and talents they need.

The concept is simple – allowing these Boardroom Opportunities to be available to as many people as possible.
