What is a vPanel?
vPanel is our newest platform to reach a larger audience and to bring you more experiences from other people who have Corporate board experience from across the country.  Our in-person events are just once a year per city,  so don’t miss out on the opportunity to join us live on the web for additional learning.  We will feature three panel members who will share their experiences of board service. They will be coming to you via their web cams and you will be able to sit back and relax right at your desk. The 90 minute event is interactive, so you can ask questions as we go along.

Purpose of the Event:
Women in the Boardroom is an executive leadership event designed to assist in the preparation for board service - better qualifying and connecting attendees with the right resources. Our panelists are executives with for-profit board experience and a desire to share their knowledge and necessary tools for serving as a director.  Although the focus is for-profit boards, much of the knowledge gained can be applied to non-profit service.

Topics of Discussion Include: 

- Role of being a director

- DIfferences of a non-profit, private and public board

- Board selection process

- Being an effective board member

- Positioning yourself for board service/taking the next step
