Testimonials
“I am so excited to share that I have been appointed to the Board of Directors of Steam Whistle Brewing. Steam Whistle is a great Canadian success story with an excellent management team and Board.
Thank you to WGOB – their programs have been instrumental in helping me develop and enhance my Board skills and visibility while making wonderful relationships with other women along the way.”
“We engaged Women Get On Board Inc. (WGOB) for their board shortlist service to identify candidates to support our board renewal process. We were pleased to have found two well-qualified Board nominees working with WGOB, Ms. Lee Bennett and Ms. Jennifer Batley. Ms. Batley’s deep customer experience expertise and Ms. Bennett’s capital markets experience will help us strengthen and diversify the skillset of our incumbent Board and deliver value for all stakeholders.”
“The WGOB Mentorship Program’s unique value proposition is the network of highly accomplished women board directors who are invested in supporting, uplifting and guiding their mentees on their board journey, one woman, and one board at a time. One cannot access this level of invaluable lived experience in any board prep course or certification program. Thanks to WGOB and my amazing mentor, I have elevated my board readiness and am better equipped to progress in my own board journey.”
“I joined WGOB eight months ago and began my board journey. Through the members’ bi-weekly board job postings, I found many opportunities that aligned with my goals and interests. Resources were provided during the process which helped me to prepare my board resume. The advice and support I got from individual peers and at the monthly meetings were instrumental in preparing me for the interview process. I have just been appointed to my first not-for-profit board. Thank you to the WGOB community!”
“I have appreciated the ongoing support of Deborah since joining WGOB. The events/programs and networking opportunities offered are very beneficial.”
“BRAVO Deborah to you and your wonderful team!!! It was exceptionally well done. The speakers and panel were great and the excitement in the room was so energizing! I am still smiling. Thank you for including me in your inaugural summit…I have no doubt it will be the first of many, many fabulous summits to come!”
