We are a network of 30,000 women, and some men, who are starting and shaping
their board careers. The network includes those with all levels of board
experience, across all sectors and professional disciplines. Our Ambassadors,
most of whom are highly experienced NEDs, offer particular insight and
connections to support our work. We are there to support you, to encourage you,
to offer you honest and helpful advice. Our support is practical, delivered with
a genuine personal touch. What we do works - on average eight members secure a
new board role each week Women on Boards offers efficient services to connect
recruiting boards and headhunters with high-calibre individuals who will enhance
the diversity of thought in the boardroom. As absolute believers that men and
women share equal reserves of talent and ambition, we are dedicated to helping
organisations in all sectors to work towards gender balance at board and
leadership level. Diversity leads to more innovation, better quality of
decision-making and correlates with improved business performance. Our ‘Voice
for Inclusion’ page collates key studies. Our ability to reach potential
candidates from outside established networks is highly desirable for any board
wishing to ensure they enjoy the proven benefits of diversity of thought. Our
pool of high-calibre individuals spans those with significant NED experience
including at listed firms, those with some prior board roles and others ready to
bring their expertise to their first non-executive position.
