The Women's Leadership Board's intention is to continue to advance women leaders by creating strategic alliances with leading corporations who authentically share the same intention.
The Women's Leadership Board at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government has recently opened its membership to leading corporations with a demonstrated commitment to advancing women. We are inviting corporations who have implemented intelligent solutions to address the advancement and retention of women, and are committed to their corporate progress. We believe that such corporations would welcome a collaborative alliance with the WLB to further their gender intelligence and accelerate its progress. Together, we will create and sponsor groundbreaking gender research and develop strategies that address a wide range of issues relevant to women in the United States and throughout the world.
As a corporate member of the Women's Leadership Board, you will accelerate your corporation's commitment to the advancement and retention of women. Your corporation will have opportunities to participate in the renowned Harvard Executive Education Courses. You will collaborate with a distinguished group of global women leaders who are passionate about giving back to their corporations, societies and a future generation of women leaders. Corporate members are participants in the work of the WLB at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and around the world focusing on study and research in all aspects of women's leadership.
