Women on Boards Roundtable
Tuesday, February 21st
3:00 pm PST / 6:00 pm EST
We meet on the third Tuesday bi-monthly.
Let's Get More Women in the Boardroom, plus the 2023 Board Landscape
Women in the Boardroom – we still need more – what is the landscape like in 2023 for getting on boards? What are the trends? Will there be a quota? Are companies getting closer to a “normal” of inclusion on boards? Is it harder or easier to get on a board now? And what about the CEO role?
We have a long way to go. Statistics show that companies with more women leaders at the top, reflect more women in management and so on. Opportunities for advancement are much more available for those companies.
