In this session, attendees will hear from board program alumni and other WBL members who have successfully made the leap – with a non-traditional (non-CEO) background – to seats on major corporate boards.  Learn about their journey, how they established their value proposition, and the different contacts and methods they used along the way to locate and approach opportunities.  You’ll also have a chance to hear more about how their skill sets have been valuable to the boards on which they sit, and walk away with the ability to use this knowledge as you make your own case.
