Join BDO's Center for Corporate Governance Amy Rojik as sits down with Sheila Ronning, CEO and Founder of Women in the Boardroom to discuss thoughts on how to not only get more women to the boardroom but peel back and understand self-imposed hurdles that both men and women need to scale in order to get those covered director positions.

Key Takeaways

  • Networking is your way to the board – understand who is currently in your network and plan to spend time sincerely nurturing those relationships and establishing new ones
  • Know your value – prepare yourself for opportunities by being able to clearly articulate, quickly and concisely, what your value proposition is AND what it is you are looking for in board service
  • Set goals and objectives and do your homework on the various types of board opportunities – assess your capacity, know what is expected of you as a board member and ensure opportunities you are pursuing align with your goals/objectives
