Women Needed to Serve on Corporate Boards

California law now demands that women be placed on corporate boards.  Up until now it was rare to see a woman on one of the “big boards.”  But, starting in 2019 (just a few months from now) at least one woman must be included on all corporate boards.

And, over the next few years that number will be increased – so that women will account for approximately 40% of the membership of each board.

SO – now is the time to get trained to be selected and effective on these boards.

I’ve been told by several people that most women are afraid to serve on these boards because they didn’t want to assume that level of responsibility and/or they didn’t feel competent enough.

Let’s disprove that rumor!   Let the men know you are ready and able.

If you want a little extra coaching:   Here’s a one day boot camp – workshop – that might be just what will get you excited about serving with “the big boys.”

WOMEN ON CORPORATE BOARDS
A ONE-DAY BOOTCAMP

PLEASE SHARE THIS FLYER WITH
ALL YOUR HIGH-POWERED WOMEN COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS

Thanks mostly to the #MeToo Movement, California is once again in the Vanguard creating legislation to advance gender equality requiring that at least one woman sit on every corporate board.  Although highly controversial – this is an opportunity for all high powered – fast-tracking women to serve at this level.

It also is the opportunity for those in “soft-skill” fields to participate with mostly “hard-skill” colleagues.  Although every book on board Development (including my own) states the importance of the soft-skill perspective on the board, it is rare to see anyone in those professions, including HR professionals serving on corporate boards.

This one day boot camp is designed to give you the information and skills you will need to serve with “the big boys” and shine.  Among the things you will learn:

·       Basics of Corporate Governance

·       How your Professional Background adds value

·       Roles of Board Members – and Executive Boards

·       How to be heard – to express yourself effectively
