Who, What, When and How To Serve

The Harvard Club, Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
The program will be held in Harvard Hall. Experience all the Harvard Club's traditional warmth & charm over a 5-star, three (3) course luncheon.

As our national conversation increasingly recognizes the importance and impact of diverse corporate boards, it also raises the question of what it means to serve on a board. After all, no two boards are alike, with each tailored to the size, industry, type and mission of the company or organization they guide.

So where can you leverage your deep experience to positively shape the future of a company? Join us on Tuesday, November 12, 2013, for “Inside the Boardroom: Who, What, When and How To Serve,” one of a series of multiple panels and programs on 11/12/13 to support gender diversity in U.S. Corporate Boardrooms.

Our panelists will dive into the diverse working styles and organization of boards, discuss their paths toward board service, and offer advice and lessons learned on what to expect when working on a board.

Moderated by Stephanie Sonnabend, Co-founder and Chair of 2020 Women on Boards, our panelists will share:

• The pathways taken toward their careers of board service
• Their activities as board members, including the management of priorities and expectations.
• The organization of their boards, including committees and leadership, and how those differ between company types and sizes.
• The influence and reach of a board, including how your work can help to spark positive returns for the organizations you serve.
• Advice on how to best operate within and make the most out of your board experience, as well as resources available for board members seeking guidance or mentorship.

Our speakers include:

We are also thrilled to announce that our luncheon's welcoming remarks will be made by Massachusetts Treasurer and Receiver General Steven Grossman, who brings to the office of Treasurer brings to the office of Treasurer a family heritage of public service, a lifetime dedicated to helping others, and years of experience as a hard-working businessman with a sense of responsibility for the well-being of his colleagues and his community.
