Who We Are

Ten years of trailblazing: Amplifying women’s voices and transforming boardrooms and beyond

Women Get On Board Inc. (WGOB) is a social purpose company launched in 2015 with a bold vision to build a national movement that connects, promotes, and empowers women to serve on corporate boards with confidence and courage.

We are proud to amplify the voices of women leaders, board members, and professionals across Canada through education, mentorship, and allyship. WGOB is guided by the “power of three” philosophy—the belief that while one woman in a boardroom is a token and two are a presence, three constitute an authentic voice for change.
