Just as it has for hundreds of women before you, the WBL Board Program offers a curated learning journey designed to build your confidence and expand your connections as you pursue your next board role. Through a deep dive into your personal value proposition and a comprehensive look at the current board landscape, you’ll leave the program with a clear understanding of which board opportunities are right for you — and how you can make a meaningful impact as a director.
Each module builds your board readiness step by step — from clarifying your personal value to making a lasting impact in the boardroom.
To excel as a board member, you must understand your strengths and how to convey them to the right people in your network. During this module, you’ll learn how to discover your unique value proposition, improve your personal branding, and strategically raise your profile.
This module will explain what to expect from boards at different company stages — from startup to public — and describe the unique opportunities serving on healthcare nonprofit and advisory boards bring to your career.
Once you have a strong understanding of your value and the board types you’re interested in targeting, this module will teach you how to find potential board roles, approach the interview process, and decide whether an opportunity is right for you or not.
Finding a board role is only the beginning. Our final module will focus on becoming the director you’ve dreamed of: effective, influential, and respected by your peers. You’ll also learn about the expectations and benefits of serving on committees.
Faculty mentors are seasoned board directors and C-suite leaders who will guide you through the small-group cohort sessions. They offer accountability, insights, and access to their networks.
