“My OnBoarding Women experience has helped me to be considered for public company board positions and in turn for the Stanford’s Directors’ Consortium this spring and for my recent ATSG board appointment. Both the Consortium and ATSG were focused on prior, public and private, board experience of applicants and the OnBoarding Women program placed me in the active candidate pools for both.”

“The OnBoarding Women Program gave me the confidence to put myself out there. With the education and support, I knew I was ready to serve, and put myself in a situation to be asked. I am quite certain I would have missed the opportunity to serve on the MultiCare Board if I had not participated in this program.”

Nominate & Recruit
Today’s program provides practitioner-led education on corporate governance issues, builds meaningful connections in the business community, and is open to women with the interest and experience to be considered for nomination to a corporate directorship.
Participants share and gain the knowledge needed to position themselves effectively for board placement, have the opportunity to network with their peers, and are introduced to a cadre of sitting public company board members who serve as mentors to accelerate participants’ readiness for board service.
Nominations are accepted year round for the program that begins in September and runs through March. Participants commit to one afternoon session a month during the course of the program. Each class consists of candidates selected for their likelihood to be placed on a public company board and with an eye for a balance of industries.
If you are seeking a board member please email OnBoardingwomen@perkinscoie.com
