WHAT TO EXPECT

Starting with a two-day in-person kickoff, the WBL Board Program will equip you with a suite of specialized tools and skills to help you secure your first board role, or find additional board roles. 

Our yearlong program is the only board readiness program for women in healthcare. The connections, mentorship, advice, and tangible skills attendees receive are tailored specifically to leaders like you who are seeking to advance into board roles and make a lasting contribution.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• Advanced Knowledge of Today’s Board Landscape. Hear first-hand from insiders on how board seats are filled, how your talents align with trends, and what types of board seats are best suited to your skills. 
• Hands-on Experience. Work through real-world board scenarios to develop new leadership skills and build confidence in your board capabilities. 
• Your Unique Value Proposition. You’ll leave with a strong elevator pitch and data points that demonstrate your unique value and experience clearly, concisely, and effectively.
• An Unparalleled Network. Attending WBL’s Board Program means you are part of healthcare’s most connected network of female leaders, ready to advocate and advance each other’s career aspirations.
• Year-Round Support. During our two-day in-person kickoff, you will be placed in a cohort that will meet virtually at set points throughout the year. Led by an established faculty mentor, you will troubleshoot obstacles, gain peer feedback, and establish strong connections to support your board search.

WHEN TO ARRIVE

The program's kickoff will begin the morning of October 2nd in Nashville, TN and conclude the afternoon of October 3rd. We encourage you to arrive early and schedule meetups with fellow attendees to make the most of your trip!

After the in-person kickoff, attendees will participate virtually in two cohort calls, investor networking opportunities, and a final accountability call over the following year.
