Women on Boards January 26, 2009

Research has linked women board directors with strong performance at Fortune 500 companies, yet women currently hold only 14.7% those seats. We’re out to change that.

Women on Boards is an annual panel discussion designed to educate and prepare women for board service. Having originated in Minneapolis in 2002, Women on Boards is now held annually in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, San Francisco and Atlanta.

A panel of top-level executives with extensive board experience will share their knowledge and the necessary tools for serving as a director.

Discussion will focus on being an effective board member, how to position oneself to serve on a board and how to transition from serving on non-profit boards to for profit boards. An interactive Q&A and reception will follow.
