The Wharton Club of New York has invited the Wharton Club of Philly to this event!
Gain tangible insights from our talented group of experts in Board and CEO services on how to successfully pursue board roles and perform as an effective board member.

The perceived value of corporate governance is definitely on the rise driven by ESG and Diversity and Inclusion efforts. Effective and diverse board representation is seen as a distinct opportunity to reduce corporate risk and increase enterprise value. While board roles were traditionally reserved for current or former C-level executives in the past, boards are increasingly looking to diversify the skills and experiences of their board members.

More executives are also recognizing the benefits of securing a board position. Being a successful board member helps to build valuable leadership and teamwork skills, and can enhance one’s career during full-time employment, as well as prepare for increased board roles after full-time employment ends.


By attending this session, you will:

  • Learn how to successfully pursue board roles
  • Understand the role boards play in corporate governance and how they affect change
  • Learn how to be a successful and effective board member
