We are proud to announce today the start of a new partnership with the Institute of Directors (IoD), a thriving member community for directors in the UK, Europe and across the world.

At a time when good directors have never been more important, the IoD offers professional development, valuable connections and meaningful influence. Founded in 1903, today it remains the authority on entrepreneurialism, professionalism in business and good governance in the UK and beyond.

“The IoD’s commitment to diversity and lifelong learning makes our partnership with European Women on Boards a natural fit. We’re proud to be supporting and celebrating women in business leadership and look forward to collaborating to drive development and success now and in the future.” – Jonathan Geldart, Director General, IoD

Through this partnership, EWOB and the IoD will engage in joint initiatives and share best practices on how to achieve gender equality in corporate leadership.

“Collaborating with like-minded organisations working in different contexts but sharing the same mission as EWOB is crucial to achieving large-scale change. We therefore look forward to this partnership with the IoD to strengthen our support for women leaders in Europe and continue to make progress towards gender equality in business.” Kristen Anderson – CEO of EWOB

We look forward to seeing this new partnership with the Institute of Directors translating into common initiatives!
