Mar 11, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

With the recent court ruling overturning the SEC’s NASDAQ Board Diversity Rule, efforts to advance board diversity face new challenges. Amid shifting business priorities and economic pressures, progress remains slow, with low turnover and shrinking opportunities for diverse candidates. This panel will explore how women and BIPOC leaders can navigate evolving board dynamics, strengthen their value propositions, and position themselves for board roles. Hear from experts and gain actionable insights to unlock the boardroom.
