About the Event
The path to the boardroom is strengthened by relationships, visibility, and women willing to open doors for one another.
Join Julie Castro Abrams, Founder and CEO of How Women Lead and Managing Partner of How Women Invest, members of the Chicago Leadership Committee, and a select group of Chicago women leaders for cocktails and candid conversation about women’s leadership in the boardroom.
Connect with sitting directors and women preparing for their first or next board seat, exchange insights, and expand the relationships that can help create more opportunities for women to lead. We’ll also build momentum for #GetOnBoard Week, September 14–18, How Women Lead’s annual campaign to advance more women into corporate board leadership.
Whether you currently serve on a board, are actively pursuing board service, or want to help open the boardroom to more women, we invite you to join the conversation.
