For yet another year, Directors & Boards looked to us for suggestions on the annual 'Directors to Watch' list of stellar executives. We nominated many of our VIP Members and are thrilled to announce that three of our VIPs were selected for this elite group. Congratulations to Challis Lowe, Linn Freedman and Sharon Egilinsky for this distinction. Read more about 'Directors to Watch 2014' here.

VIP MEMBER & EVENT SPEAKER LINN FREEDMAN
Why is your September 17th Connections Event topic 'Lessons in Data Security: What All Directors Should Know' essential for board directors? It is a very hot risk-management topic as the risk of a data breach for companies in every industry is real and the consequences are devastating. We will provide tools for C-suite executives and board members to take back to their businesses in order to ask the right questions, to assemble an appropriate team to assess and reduce the risks to their business, and to ensure oversight of the management of the risk.
With our organizations' name being Women in the Boardroom, it is fairly obvious that our mission is to advance more women into the boardroom. We've been doing this since 2002, long before women on corporate boards was the hot topic it is today. But as we receive requests each day from women (and men) throughout the U.S. (and world) to learn more about us, I thought I would take this chance to lay out some of what we offer. At Women in the Boardroom, we:
-Provide guidance as you prepare for corporate board service
-Offer executive & board coaching to help assess your skill-set, critique your board bio & launch a successful board campaign
-Connect you with corporate board openings
-Present career-boosting virtual & in-person events that are designed to connect aspiring & current board members, and provide essential knowledge for leadership & corporate board service
There is so much more to talk about that I couldn't possibly fit into the corner of a newsletter! If you would like to learn more, watch this video I recorded in April 2014 on VIP Membership or email me to set up a time to talk about your board goals.
