Give & Get
Willingness to share my professional, personal and industry experience and counsel those that are less further along and/or encountering difficult scenarios. I think I can offer a thoughtful and analytical approach to scenarios at decision points that need to be weighed. My extensive nonprofit Board and Leadership experience can be helpful to women interested in that kind of service.
Need is awareness of and access to opportunities for corporate and private company board service on a Board and/or Advisory Committee. I'm happy to probe what opportunities would be a good fit, and I need to know when opportunities arise and, of course, be introduced and recommended.
