Women on Boards is an open, action-oriented, Australia and UK-wide organisation for women seeking to leverage their professional skills and experience into board and leadership roles.
Women on Boards started as an informal network in 2001 and was founded as a company in 2006 to improve the gender balance on Australian boards. It is funded through subscriber fees and earnings from services to organisations seeking to improve gender diversity.
Women on Boards partners with the corporate, government and non-profit sectors to hold events, host programs, create opportunities for women and coach and mentor them into career and director roles.
Women on Boards has helped nearly 1,000 women gain board positions.
