Corrs CEO Gavin MacLaren speaking at the AICD Chair’s Mentoring Program 2025 closing event in Melbourne
The Chair’s Mentoring Program is the AICD’s flagship board diversity initiative, designed to give experienced and qualified emerging female directors the opportunity to develop as directors and understand their unique value proposition to boards. As part of the program, experienced female leaders are connected with ASX 200 chairs and directors in a year-long mentoring program.
Throughout 2025, Corrs co-sponsored the program alongside Allens, hosting various workshops, roundtable events and masterclasses over the course of the year.
In November, Corrs hosted the program closing event in Melbourne, which included opening remarks from Corrs Senior Partner and CEO Gavin MacLaren, a keynote from Janette Kendall FAICD, and a panel discussion featuring Janette Kendall, Dr. Xiaoling Liu GAICD, Kee Wong FAICD and Mark Rigotti, Managing Director and CEO of AICD.
