WNORTH Vancouver: November Roundtable with Nancy Goertzen
Getting Boardroom Ready
Do you need a professional board designation, serve on multiple non-profit boards, and have blue-chip corporate experience to become a board director? Many women do! Join our session on the many paths to the boardroom and how to get there! Join Nancy Goertzen, ICD.D and independent board director, for a dynamic and candid conversation on how to get boardroom-ready. Learn about the value of being a “creative outsider,” how to read the (board)room, zeroing in on updated expectations, and delivering value as a board member. Hear the “never-mentioned” facts of what boards really want, how to evaluate a board opportunity, and how to excel as a board freshman. Find out what you are “really signing up for” when you join a board and how it can impact your brand and career, and understand the top board director dealbreakers. Assess your skills, talents, and expertise and know where you can add the most value in the boardroom. Discover what it really takes to be boardroom-ready!
