Who should participate? BoardAccess events will benefit women at all stages of their careers who are interested in corporate board service now and in the future. If you are senior level women, consider mentoring a younger associate at the event. And while the program is focused on corporate board service, many of the topics discussed have relevance to not-for-profit board service.

What is BoardAccess? Inforum’s BoardAccess™ Initiative was developed to help qualify women for board service today and in the future. The initiative includes participative workshops and networking events to inform women about corporate board service so that they can make career decisions that will enhance their board readiness. The sessions illuminate what the requirements are for serving on a corporate board, what boards look for in their candidates and how to prepare for board service.
