What makes our program different?
 

1. You'll network with leaders who can recommend you for real opportunities. Many programs provide board service education. At ours, you'll walk away not only with new knowledge and skills, but also with tangible connections to sitting board members, investors, and executive search contacts who may consider you for board roles.

2. There is no other program with a focus on health care like ours. We’ll help you understand why your health care experience is a secret weapon. After attending, you'll be able to convey exactly why boards should want someone with your expertise. Our industry-focused speakers and faculty share the unique ability to understand your background and strengths as they guide you to success.

3. Our program offers lasting value. The Board Program is the beginning of a long-term effort to help you set and reach your goals. From cohort calls and webinars to virtual networking events, you'll stay on track and supported for a full year after the in-person kickoff takes place.
