How our program helps you claim your seat at the table
Obstacles & Opportunities
![graphic showing CEO 8.2, Board Seats 32%, Total Workforce 46.8%](/sites/default/files/styles/max_1300x1300/public/image/2024-06/2024-wig-pyramid_4.png?itok=JWax-P4j)
In the last five years, women's representation on public company boards has increased by more than 10%. However, progress remains slow, and uneven across industries. Highly qualified women leaders still face institutional bias and unequal access to the informal networks open to their male colleagues, through which many board seats are filled. As a woman seeking board service, you must be able to demonstrate your board-readiness.
By taking our program you will:
- Understand your role as a board director
- Broaden your governance acumen
- Expand your board network
- Learn how to overcome individual and institutional biases
- Become an effective advocate for inclusive leadership
- Build your personal board brand
