Board Readiness
Program
- EWOB’s Board Readiness Program is intended for C-Suite executives or those with equivalent senior leadership experience, who are ready for public or private corporate board service.
- As a participant you will look at the practical aspects of how boards work and which type of board would be right for your expertise. We will delve into how to define the specific value you can bring to a Board and how to brand and market yourself accordingly.
- Our goal is to prepare you to get on a Board, and so we draw on highly successful board members, executive search professionals and other experts in board branding and responsibility to share their knowledge through interactive panels and webinars.
