About the Program

Welcome to Foundations for Fund Directors®—the orientation program designed to prepare newer independent fund directors to succeed in their role, bolster their fundamental skills, and accelerate the transition into their responsibilities. Created for directors with up to five years of experience, the program has two parts: an online course and an interactive session.

Through the online course—taken ahead of the interactive session—directors learn about their fundamental responsibilities by participating in a series of interactive training modules. The online course takes between one and two hours to complete.

At the interactive session, directors engage in two days of collaborative, hands-on learning through case studies and group discussion—to build on learning from the online course. The interactive session is held several times a year either in-person or virtually.
