Once a year The Leader's Edge/Leaders By Design partners with Diversified Search Odgers Berndtson Inc., one of the largest women-owned executive search firms in the country and the fastest growing executive search firm in the world, to present Women On Board™, a program designed exclusively for senior women executives interested in becoming members of for-profit and not-for-profit boards of directors.

Women On Board helps women prepare for board roles by providing comprehensive learnings on the governance issues and challenges faced by boards today. Participants analyze their current experience for board readiness, work on the preparation and polishing of their credentials, and develop a personal marketing plan for attaining board positions. At the conclusion of the program, participants are registered with Diversified Search Inc. as candidates for future board positions.

The program features renowned guest speakers from the region's leading companies, as well as experienced consultants from The Leader's Edge/Leaders By Design and Diversified Search Odgers Berndtson Inc.

Women On Board is a stimulating two-day program. The program extensively covers the following topics:

• Responsibilities and Obligations of a Board Member
• What are Boards Looking For?
• Assessing Your Board Skills
• Getting know By Those Who Count
• The Board Member Perspective
• Resources and Next Steps to Success
• Dinner & Guest Speaker: The CEO Perspective

Participants of Women On Board also receive a personal consultation to review qualifications, create a personal profile, and discuss an action plan for next steps to success.

This valuable program enhances the leadership position of the woman who attends, and benefits her company by positioning her for further leadership roles and opportunities.

The next Women on Board program will be held in Fall 2010.  For more information please contact us.
