Activating Board Directors to Accelerate Women at Work
To advance gender equity by using change agents on corporate boards to implement policies and practices that benefit women.
Gender-balanced boards (45-55% women) drive culture and profit, but women's leadership on boards has stalled. This project uses the strengths and experience of its deep networks of board change agents, excellence in convening, community, and skills building, to achieve a virtuous cycle: more women are placed on boards; those boards achieve gender-balance; gender-balanced boards prioritize the well-being and advancement of women; more women advance into C-Suite roles and are placed on boards.
