"Being part of this program & cohort has been much more than training, studying, or getting a certificate. Yes, all of those things happened, but I learned so much more from Michele, Mary, and all the wonderful women I met there. I have learned so many practical & pragmatic things, "culture of boards", do's and don'ts, tips and practical scenarios. And I have learned about "women community" in a way I had not done it before. My heart is full, thank you!"
