Benefits for Companies

Please see attached, benefits for each membership type.

Sharing Benefits with Others

Corporate Members & Special Corporate Members can share their discount privileges with others so that they can experience our programs on a trial basis. For instance, corporations may wish to share their training discounts with new outside director candidates, or group subsidiaries; or, fund managers may wish to share discounts with portfolio companies (one time per company).  Similarly, subject to terms pre-agreed with BDTI, executive recruiters can share discounts on our standard full-day programs with quality director candidates introduced by them who have not yet been approved at the AGM. Corporate Members & Special Corporate Members must notify BDTI in advance and obtain approval.

Membership

Any person or any organization that supports our goals and our activities can become a member  in accordance with BDTI’s Rules and Agreement. Membership status will be granted after BDTI approves applications.
