Welcome

Our mission is to continue to expand the WCD community through leadership, diversity, education, and best practices in corporate governance.

With over 1,350 members who serve on over 1,500 boards, WCD membership provides a unique opportunity for networking, making new friends, and learning from the intellectual capital of accomplished women from all over the world. Our website is a resource for member news, open board positions, speaking opportunities, archived speeches and a complete member directory. 

A Call to Action   WCD Challenges Every Leader to Actively Help Bring More Women onto Corporate Boards, and to Build Diverse Boards that are Multi-Gender, Multi-Skilled, Multi-National, Multi-Ethnic, and Multi-Generational 1. Build the Pipeline Through Advocacy and Mentorship  Each Board Director and corporate leader should help identify senior women in their companies and help them gain the visibility and responsibility necessary to become a Board Director: Identify; Coach; Promote; Advocate 2. Assure Every Director Slate Includes at Least One Woman  Board Nominating Committees, Executive Search firms, Succession Planners and Boards themselves must commit to including at least one woman on every slate. We can learn from the NFL’s highly effective “Rooney’s Rule,” which assures an African-American coach is considered in each coach search. 3. Declare Board Diversity a Necessary Component of Good Governance  Regulatory agencies, stock exchanges, and governance communities around the world should encourage nominating committees to secure diverse directors and to explain their Board selection process in their proxies.
