Gender-diverse boards are more profitable1 and innovative than boards lacking diverse representation2. Women on boards can enhance financial performance, disrupt groupthink decision-making and evolve governance practices overall. For the women holding these positions, offering their professional expertise and leadership skills adds value far beyond being counted as part of annual disclosure requirements. Women bring passion and perspective as board members, with the awareness that the incoming generation of professionals will also benefit from their efforts.

Join us for an online panel discussion featuring leading women from the public and private sectors who hold important board positions. Panellists will share stories about how they secured a seat at the table as well as the ways they have positively influenced approaches to governance and overcome barriers.
