What our supporters
say about us

I've been appointed to my first public board seat with Pulmonx (NASDAQ: LUNG), a MedTech company with a treatment for severe lung disease. I'll be serving on the Audit Committee. Grateful for the 50/50 Get on Board! workshop I attended last Fall, and your team's support of my journey to board service!

Thank you for the incredible course! In fact, following Friday’s session, I was speaking with a man who serves on one of my nonprofit boards and I presented my high-impact sound bite. He said I had valuable skills to serve on boards, which was immediately rewarding!

Well worth the investment of time, this program took the mystery out of the process for women interested in serving on a board.
