“It’s a network gap…Every board has its own ecosystem.” Jocelyn Mangan on Electric Ladies Podcast (then known as Green Connections Radio)
Women still make up only 26.1% of corporate boards, despite clear evidence that companies with more women on the board perform better on all metrics, including financially.

- What it takes be a valuable board member.
- How to connect with men who can help you with your board-related goals.
