Leading from the Boardroom: Perspectives from Women in Finance & Law
Join How Women Lead for an evening designed to help accomplished women better understand, evaluate, and pursue corporate board opportunities.
 
Washington, DC is home to leaders with deep expertise in finance, law, public policy, and institutional leadership; experience that is increasingly valuable in today’s boardrooms. This conversation will bring together experienced corporate directors and senior executives to explore how boards are evolving, what different types of board roles require, and how women can determine which opportunities align with their expertise, goals, and values.
 
Attendees will leave with practical guidance for assessing board opportunities, greater clarity on their next steps, and a blueprint for advancing their board goals in 2027. The evening will also include intentional networking with board directors and senior leaders. Our goal is for every attendee to leave energized about board service and having made at least five meaningful new connections.
 
Join us for #GetOnBoard Week In-Person Networking in DC, on Monday, September 14th, 2026 from 5:30–8:00 PM ET at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center.
