AAPI Women Affinity Group - From Operator to Board Leader; Elevating AAPI Women into the Boardroom
Thursday, Sept. 17  ⬥  1:00 - 2:15 pm PT
 
AAPI women are among the most credentialed, high-performing operators in business — yet remain significantly underrepresented in the boardroom. This panel cuts through the readiness myth and gets direct about what it actually takes to make the leap: how to position your operator experience as board currency, how to build visibility with the people who nominate and sponsor, and how to activate the relationships that open doors.
 
Our panelists bring firsthand perspective from both sides of the table — as executives who've made the transition, investors who evaluate board composition, and leaders who are actively expanding what board leadership looks like for AAPI women.
 
Whether you're already on a board, actively pursuing your first seat, or just beginning to think about the path — this conversation will give you a sharper strategy and a clearer next step.
