DESCRIPTION:
This year mar
ks the 10th anniversary of The Leadership Foundry, Women in Technology's signat
ure program to prepare executive women for positions on corporate boards, f
ulfilling our mission to advance women "from the classroom to the board roo
m."
A decade has made a difference in the number and percentage
of women serving on boards, but there is still a distinction between women
at the executive level who are board-qualified and those who are board-read
y.
Anyone interested in corporate board service expects a direc
tor role to come with a certain time commitment, but only The Leadership Fo
undry challenges you to begin that time commitment in preparing for and sec
uring your first board seat. Our practice-based approach helps you come awa
y with a deeper understanding of how and why a board functions because we p
ut you “in the board room” through our unique training partnership with NAC
D. We help you understand your value proposition from a board’s perspective
, and give you time to develop and hone the essential elements of your indi
vidual promotion plan.
