"This course/program is so empowering. To be in an room of like-minded, highly successful women who are truly rooting for each other is a remarkable experience. The balance of learning what we need to do to fulfill the fiduciary duties combined with how to show up in a boardroom to be taken seriously as a female is the unique value proposition that prompted me to take this program, and it lived up to expectations."
