For International Women’s Day 2025, POWERful Women is delighted to offer this FREE webinar for our network, kindly delivered by Maria Blakley of WB Directors, home of Women on Boards.
Maria outlines what to expect and why you should join us on the 12th:
Joining an external board is not just for those who have reached a pinnacle in their career. Anyone can consider becoming a trustee of a charity or support a community organisation, outside of work, by becoming a Board Member or Chair.
At WB Directors we believe that you are never too young or too old to join a board. We provide information about the board space, training courses, Board CV and interview support and a vacancy board to our members, who are all part of a community of other people, like you, looking for their first board role.
To learn more join us for our one-hour online session with Maria Blakley, Corporate Lead at WB Directors on ‘The 7 Reasons why joining a board is good for your career’.
This session will provide you with knowledge and information about how joining a board can become part of your career plan at any stage.
Each of the 7 reasons will be explained with a recent example of a success story from a woman in the energy industry.
Membership to WB Directors (home of the Women on Boards community) is available to individuals and companies alike. For the past three years Maria has worked with energy companies including bp, Drax, National Grid, Ofgem, RenewableUK and Harbour Energy, to encourage their employees to consider taking an external board role to support their professional development and give them valuable leadership skills and experience.
If you are working in one of these companies your membership to WB Directors (home of the Women on Boards Community) is free. Find out more and sign up to their newsletter here https://wbdirectors.co.uk/
