Shownotes
Today on the Take on Board Podcast, I’m speaking with Heather Disher about business sector advisory boards.
Heather is the chair of Pony Club Australia. You heard some of that story not long ago when we talked about sports boards. And she’s a board member at Geelong Animal Welfare Society. She’s also on a number of advisory boards, but we can’t tell you their names, because they’re confidential, but trust me, she knows all about it.
Heather is a dual business owner, Alchemy Outsourcing and Disher Advisory Synergy, a director chair, non-Executive Director, advisor, certified chair from the Advisory Board Centre and a mentor with Rare Birds and Pony Club Australia’s Leadership Program.
Last year, she co-authored a book called She Built It. Heather has the unique combination of governance, advisory and business operations and strategy. When she’s not working. I don’t know when that is, but Heather’s out on the nature trail running with her dog Koda.
