In the first two months of 2023, women gained 34 seats on the boards of S&P 500 companies, increasing the percentage of total women to 32.5%. Forté’s newest speaking series, Women on Boards, highlights the stories of those in that 32.5% and helps direct the efforts and intentions of those who aspire to move that percentage even higher. As a segment of the Forté Premium Membership level, Women on Boards offers quarterly insights and encouragement for all who have dreamt of having a seat at the table.

Have you thought about expanding your impact and influence through board service? For many, this journey starts with a non-profit board seat. BoardAssist Founder Cynthia Remec, will share with our audience the multiple factors you should consider when joining a non-profit board, including cultural fit, financial commitment, and size of the organization. Cynthia will also speak to the importance of a long-term match and placement. This latter piece will be especially attractive to our New York-based members as BoardAssist has committed to work on a pro bono basis with New York area Forté members to personally match them with one of the hundreds of New York-based non-profit boards they support.
