OUR MISSION
Increase the Representation of Women on Corporate Boards
DirectWomen identifies leading women lawyers from around the country who are able to provide the experience, independence, business judgment and diversity required for board effectiveness and good corporate governance. It serves as a resource for companies seeking qualified women-attorney board candidates who will improve corporate governance and increase shareholder value.
DirectWomen’s network includes:
- More than 175 Board Institute alumnae
- 35 Sandra Day O’Connor Board Excellence Award honorees
- A vibrant group of volunteers, including CEOs, directors of large public companies, executive search firm principals and other leaders of the business community
Twenty five percent (30%) of the alumnae of our first four Board Institutes serve on at least one large corporate board.
