In December 2009, five women sharing the vision of increasing female board representation decided to create a pool of women with skills and experience beneficial to many boards.

Women on Board has achieved its primary goals: creating a pool of talented women ready to take up board positions, and facilitating access to this pool for Belgian enterprises searching for female directors. The objective is to make the change happen by promoting and building a greater female board representation, as more and more companies are contacting Women on Board and appointing female board members. With more than 265 skilled women, the Association is providing private and public enterprises and search firms with free-access to the pool.
