National Conference of Women's Bar Associations’ Post

It was great to speak at our ACI Seminars in KPMG in the Crown Dependencies, Guernsey and Jersey recently about Inclusion, Diversity and Equity and its continued importance in board effectiveness and composition. 🗣 I think its fair to say ACI members enjoyed a healthy debate and I really enjoyed the opportunity to share some of the insights from our research, in particular on socio-economic diversity on boards. 🤓 Read our latest 'Balance in the boardroom' report here: https://lnkd.in/e2PhMgsv

A powerful message about women and leadership! I had to share!

This morning's meeting was a testament to the passion and determination of the trailblazing women who have already joined our ranks; it was an absolute whirlwind of inspiration as we delved into shaping the agenda for our groundbreaking program, set to empower both current and aspiring board members. Being at the forefront of this initiative isn't just about creating an agenda; it's about catalyzing change, about propelling women and underrepresented groups into the very heart of decision-making. Imagine being part of a movement that not only talks about inclusivity but actively works towards it. That's precisely what our 2024 #GetOnBoard Week Leadership Committee embodies. We're crafting a platform where voices that have long been marginalized will be heard, where opportunities will be opened, and where the path to leadership will be paved for all. Together, we're rewriting the narrative of corporate leadership, making it more equitable, more inclusive, and more representative of the diverse tapestry of talent that exists in our society. If you've ever felt the call to action, if you've ever dreamt of being part of something bigger than yourself, then consider this your invitation. Join us in our mission to bridge the gap, to shatter glass ceilings, and to create a future where leadership knows no boundaries. Now is the time. The opportunity is here. Will you seize it? #ExecutiveWomen #WomenLeadership #WomenInLeadership #BoardDirectors #Leadership

How do we start to engage our young leaders to become interested in corporate leadership? Over the last few years, the struggles of corporations to create more diverse boards has come to light. In order to have more Black and Brown women on the boards of corporate companies, it starts with their interest level. How do we inspire young girls of color early in life so that they aspire to sit on those seats? This article from @blackenterprise highlights the importance of starting to target middle-school aged Black and Brown girls when they are just starting to develop their confidence and are starting to see themselves as leaders.
