career?
If so, the time is now to start preparing. SheTO, in collaboration with the Athena Alliance, is launching its inaugural program.
This uniquely powerful experience will give you the mindset and network necessary to excel in your next board role and think strategically in your communication with the board at your company.
Athena has placed over 460 women on leading boards including Zillow, Bose, Carlotz, PNC Bank, Dropbox, Noodles & Co., and more. We can’t wait to support you, too.
Modules are taught by experienced board directors bringing practical, from-the-trenches perspectives. All sessions are highly interactive and designed to create a safe space to ask and discuss everything you’ve wanted to know about board service.
Our Board Readiness Course is designed to help you understand board service and role for technology leaders in the board. We will guide you to identify the type of board that’s right for your experience, build your network, and maximize your chance of success in your board search.
You’ll be a part of a community of other women engineering and technology leaders where you’ll have opportunities for peer exchange, mentoring from Athena’s Executive mentors, a private Slack channel, and more. A group of experts will be available throughout the program for networking, mentorship, guidance, and advice.
Backed by the wisdom of Athena’s executive development community of the top women in business, the Board Readiness Course is your launchpad to leading at the board level.
There is an ever-increasing demand for board members with technology backgrounds, specifically with the urgent need for expertise on AI and cybersecurity. Women are often underrepresented in both the tech industry and on boards.
Less than 9% of CTO roles are held by women. These numbers are even lower for women technology leaders in the boardroom.
That’s why SheTO and Athena created a custom experience to address this specific problem area. Let’s supercharge your impact and start your path to the boardroom
We’ll cover:
The roles and responsibilities of board directors
The different types of boards operating in today’s governance landscape
The board’s role in strategy and risk oversight
The key board committees and their functions
The fundamentals of ESG+T (environmental, social, governance + technology)
The distinction between leading from the boardroom and C-suite and how to interact with executives as a board director
The nuances of boardroom dynamics and culture
A complete toolkit for how to strategically approach your board search, including networking strategies, identifying yourfit and delivering your value with confidence, nailing the board interview, and more
