The Institute of Directors (IoD) is a business organisation for company directors, senior business leaders and entrepreneurs. It is the UK’s longest running organisation for professional leaders, having been founded in 1903 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1906. The IoD, per its mission statement, stands for "free enterprise, entrepreneurialism, wealth creation and good corporate governance," and represents "the views of businesses and IoD members in the media and with government." The IoD is located in the Grade I-listed building on 116 Pall Mall, formerly the United Services Club. Members of the IoD also gain access to co-working spaces around the UK, bespoke market intelligence, tailored tax and legal support, exclusive member-only events along with discounts on IoD professional development courses and events. The IoD currently has 34,500 full members. Members of the IoD come from companies of all sizes and from all industries. Around seventy per cent work for small and medium-sized enterprises and are typically in senior management and boardroom-level positions. Seventy-eight per cent of FTSE 100 companies have an IoD member on their board or in a senior management position. ==History & Royal Charter== The IoD was founded in 1903 and incorporated by royal charter in 1906.〔(IoD Royal Charter ) Retrieved 29 June 2015〕 The royal charter compels the IoD to: * Promote for the public benefit high levels of skill, knowledge, professional competence and integrity on the part of directors * Represent the interests of members and the business community to government and in the public arena * Encourage and foster a climate favourable to entrepreneurial activity and wealth creation * Promote the study, research and development of corporate governance 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute of Directors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
