Women currently represent only 15.2% of the membership of Fortune 500 company boards. To correct that depressing statistic, an events and marketing firm, SHARP UpSwing, hosts an event in major cities called Women On Boards.
The event is coming to the Twin Cities on Tuesday, December 1. A panel is scheduled from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m., with a social hour to follow. The event will be at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
Topics of the panel include being an effective board member, how to position yourself to get on a board, and how to transition from serving on a non-profit board to a for-profit board.
Cost is $95 for individuals, or $950 for a table of 10, and registrations can be done online. The Panel includes:
Barb Allen
Retired President, Proactive Partners
Alice Richter
Retired Partner, KPMG
Sandra L. Davis, Ph.D
Founder & CEO, MDA Leadership Consulting
Beth Leonard
Managing Partner, Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Company, LLP
