Our power is our network. Many members of our Women on Boards network have been with us for many years, developing their board careers to reach their potential.
We admire their commitment to our ‘pay it forward’ ethos, of supporting other members and our organisation more widely. We also value them as champions for diversity of thought within the board space.
