The coronavirus (COVID-19) is impacting businesses around the globe, including our local community. In light of this unpredictable event and heightened sensitivity regarding in-person meetings and increased travel restrictions, we must be flexible and thoughtful when engaging POWER members, sponsors and guests. POWER has made the thoughtful decision to postpone the March 31^st  Executive Member Only Event. Future dates are currently being discussed as we hope to hold this program later in 2020. We will be evaluating our other upcoming programs and releasing those details soon.

How to get on a paid Board 101
Speaker: Sheila Ronning, CEO & Founder of Women in the Boardroom

Executive Members Only: $75

Join us on March 31st at 5:00pm at Independence LIVE for “How to get on a paid Board 101”, a discussion with Sheila Ronning, CEO & Founder of Women in the Boardroom. Sheila has been providing senior-level executive women with tools, knowledge and connections for corporate board service since 2002.  The discussion will be facilitated by Beth Albright, POWER Board member and a Board Leadership Fellow.

There has never been a better time for Senior-Level Executive Women to pursue paid Corporate Board Service. But, the journey to the boardroom is not necessarily a straight line and can, at times, be a mysterious and overwhelming undertaking filled with questions about, how to prepare, what to expect and how to be an effective board member. During this session you will be provided with answers to some of the burning questions about how to begin to set yourself up for success, including:

• Types of boards
• Why serve on a board?
• What skills and experience are boards looking for?
• What boards are you qualified for and interested in?
• Job & responsibilities of a Board Director
• Being an effective board member
• The risks of serving
• Time commitment
• Key Board documents such as your Bio, Resume, and Profile
• What you can do to start your journey and the best way to navigate to securing your seat at the table

The session will end with an interactive Q&A session so come with your own questions! Register now to join us for this enlightening workshop.  (Please note, space is limited and this session is open to Executive members only)
