Board Service 101: Moms on Boards
A Special Presentation with Host, Sara Sedgwick Brown, of The Mothers Podcast.
Sept. 9th, 12:30-1:30pm ET

The appetite for leadership among women, including mothers balancing careers and caregiving, has never been higher. But the traditional path to influence, climbing the internal corporate ladder, is not opening quickly enough to meet it.
Board service is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. It builds visibility, sharpens strategic thinking, and expands a professional network well beyond a single company or industry.
If you have ever wondered whether board service is realistic for you right now, given everything else you're carrying, you're asking the right question.
You don't need a corner office or a decade of C-suite experience to belong in that room. You need clarity about the value you already bring and a plan for how to communicate it. That is exactly what this session is designed to give you.
Join Sara Sedgwick Brown, Samantha Carroll, and Annette Blum Pearson for a candid, interactive conversation about the why, when, and how of board service.
"Thank you for bringing together such incredible women and for making space for real, candid dialogue about leadership, purpose, and the realities of our journeys.”
