Get on Board!

description

Whether you are looking for professional development, building business contacts, or seeking to make a difference in your community, pursuing board membership can be both rewarding and strategically advantageous. Having a seat at the table—whether on the board of a local nonprofit, an educational institution, or a global corporation—means having the power and influence to directly impact an organization and the people it serves today, while shaping its future for years to come. Yet many women are either unaware of board opportunities, unsure of how to get nominated, or unclear about what board service entails. This session will explore the opportunities and obstacles to board membership, and how to chart your path. Presented by the Duke Women',s Impact Network and the Keohane Initiative.
