The global average of women on boards sits at just under 20% (19.7%), but research shows that companies with more women on boards had higher earnings, better returns on equity and assets, and are more likely to have a culture of collaboration and inclusivity, which can lead to higher employee engagement and retention. So where are the women? In this session you will hear from United Way experts on how to navigate your volunteer leadership journey and the skills you can learn and strengthen to be best suited to support it. They will help you explore your “why” or “purpose”. They will also offer an overview of United Way trainings and resources to help you as you search and connect with local nonprofits.
