“LifeSci Advisors has been a great partner in our work and we appreciate their ongoing support of WIB and of the Boardroom Ready program,” said Dawn Hocevar, National President, Women In Bio. “The more partners we have in this important endeavor, the more impactful we can be collectively to advance gender diversity in the life sciences field.”
About Boardroom Ready
The Boardroom Ready certification program prepares women for board service by providing them with a full understanding of the duties, responsibilities and commitments of serving on both public and private boards. WIB will host its second annual program again at George Washington University this fall. The curriculum includes financial literacy and strategy, corporate governance, investor relations, and risk management. Throughout the program and following completion, LifeSci Advisors, WIB and other sponsors work to facilitate matching program graduates with companies seeking new board members. Among the 20 graduates from the inaugural October 2016 class, six have already been placed on boards.
