We are incredibly pleased to announce the launch of our second annual 50 Women to Watch for Boards list for 2024! This esteemed cohort showcases a diverse group of exceptionally qualified women leaders from various sectors across North America who are ready to serve on public company boards. This year’s list provides unparalleled opportunities for businesses and recruiters to access validated board-ready, first-time director candidates by location, primary expertise, industry, race, and ethnicity. Our finalists have received personal calls from our executive team notifying them of their selection. Additionally, they will benefit from unparalleled exposure and visibility through our campaign partners, Equilar and Nasdaq. Throughout the year, 50/50 Women on Boards will provide customized training and visibility through our networks and events to help propel the board careers of these extraordinary women.
