Path to the Boardroom

Planning to serve on a board in five-ten years? Spend 2.5 hours with experienced Directors to customize your path and to strategically build your network.

Our online and interactive Path to the Boardroom Workshop is an ideal program if you are in your mid-career and looking to increase your visibility as a future aspiring board candidate, or want to explore whether corporate boards are right for you.

Path to the Boardroom provides you with the strategic tools to outline your boardroom journey in advance. During the session you will identify your current expertise, your unique value-add career experience, and what skills you need to best position yourself for boardroom opportunities.

Who benefits from this course?

Mid-career executives preparing to seek their first private or public board position in a few years, building expertise in finance, operations, technology, human resources, global or digital marketing, or compliance. Attorneys, military officers, business school deans/professors or executives with other value-add career experience for boards will also benefit from participation.

How does Path to the Boardroom differ from Get on Board! Workshops?

Creating your Path pays off! Women who begin building their visibility and networks duringtheir early and mid-year careers have a better chance of securing a corporate board seat later. Many senior-level women tell us, “Wow if I had only known these techniques 20 years ago, I’d be on a board by now!”
