Board memberships – public or private company, non-profit, start-up – offer opportunities, challenges, risks and rewards.  While there is more focus than ever on increasing board diversity, there is more that can be achieved.  Please join our distinguished panelists as they candidly discuss the pros and cons of Board membership, the process for getting on Boards, and their personal experiences sitting on Boards with a special focus on our community of women attorneys – all with the long term goal of increasing Board diversity.
