Corporate Board Director Power Hour

April Women's Business Council Power Hour about "Your Ultimate Career Goal - Corporate Board Director" featuring speaker Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire. 

• Whether early, mid, or at senior-management level in your career, the key is to pursue corporate boards.
• California law SB826 requires 600 more board seats for women before year-end.
• Why would you want to be a corporate director? What are risks and rewards?
• The three keys: experience, prior nonprofit boards, and strategic networking.
