Virtual Event
Jan 23, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
Overview
The roadmap for women to become members of corporate boards is getting clearer, but there is still much work to be done. Despite gains in recent years, women still only hold one-third of available seats.
Join us for an inspiring panel discussion featuring three successful women directors, each with a unique journey, across a number of industries, including finance, consulting, hospitality, retail, biotech, and pharma. Our panelists will discuss the paths they took to secure their first corporate board seats and offer advice to aspiring board directors. They will also reflect on the skills that are in demand, as well as the barriers each had to overcome in their board journeys.
