Twenty years ago, Sheila Ronning saw an opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of women. Like any good businessperson, she saw a market void and developed a program by which she could fill that void. Regardless of the motivations behind the growing market, Sheila knew that Women in the Boardroom could accomplish two objectives with each placement: increase the number of women serving on corporate boards and strengthen corporate governance by diversifying the voices on those boards.
Today, Women in the Boardroom is a go-to resource for companies looking to fill board positions with a quality candidate. (Full disclosure: a board on which I sit used their services to fill an open seat.) On this episode of Did You Know That?, Sheila discusses the genesis of the firm and how women can build and execute a plan to secure board positions. As you’ll learn, this effort goes beyond just kicking in the proverbial glass ceiling.
