WOMEN ON BOARDS: Elevating Our Presence- SOLD OUT!

A COLLABORATIVE EVENT WOMEN ON BOARDS: ELEVATING OUR PRESENCE

Join ACC Colorado and Stinson for an evening of learning about corporate board diversity, unconscious bias, and how women and diverse candidates can prepare for board opportunities and market themselves or colleagues for such opportunities. 

Speakers include Dr. Stefanie Johnson, Jo Lynn Whiting, Barbara Bauer and executive women currently serving as corporate board members.

Ms. Whiting and Ms. Bauer lead the board readiness program Boardbound and will provide current statistics on what boards are looking for in candidates and how to market yourself as a qualified board candidate.

Come learn what you can do to better position yourself to join a board!
Networking with food and drinks will follow!
