Board Seat Initiative

Studies show that diversity on boards of directors (including gender diversity) is an indicator of performance, leading boards to thrive and be inclusive of a broader picture and, in many cases positively impacting the bottom line. According to a recent study by McKinsey only 19% of C-suite employees are women.

The Junior League of Boston is a premier training organization giving women experiential leadership opportunities within the organization and in the community. Our Board Seat Initiative is designed to train women on governance, legal and fiduciary responsibilities of being a Board member, and help match members with prospective opportunities. If you are looking for talented women to serve on your nonprofit Board or advisory Board, please contact boardseatinitiative@jlboston.org with a job description and list of responsibilities.
