At EWOB, we believe that diverse boards can become a key driver for strategic change today.

Whether in the corporate sector or in other spheres such as non-profit organisations or academia, boards of directors have an important role to play as decision-makers. By leading and shaping the long-term vision of an organisation, they have the opportunity to actively contribute to improving diversity, inclusion and sustainability. This is why we have created the Board Readiness Program, a practical training for all the leaders of tomorrow.

from a diverse set of backgrounds and professional fields and create a network of advocates for each other.

Get practical advice to jumpstart your journey

towards a decision-making position, thanks to the guidance and inspiration from leading experts in their fields.

Join 5 virtual workshops

spread over 2 months. these 2-hour sessions include breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and abundant practical advice to get ready for your board search.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY

Prof. Stefanie A. Schubert

PhD, CA-AM, Professor of Economics

In the current dynamically changing times diversity of thought, gender and experience on European boards is strongly needed. I strongly encourage women to obtain their seat at the table and impact the strategic corporate decision making. One way to start is to sign up the Board Readiness Programme created by European Women on Boards.
