WASHINGTON — Fifteen of the world’s top female executives are the first graduates of “On the Board,” a globally-focused, comprehensive training and placement program, which is hosted at the George Washington University School of Business (GWSB), in partnership with the International Women’s Forum (IWF).
On the Board is organized around three residencies in Washington, D.C., held each year over long weekends in February, July and November. The fellows spent three intensive days at GW and heard from leading faculty, current board directors, coaches and practitioners who discussed board-level strategy, compensation essentials, liability, financial strategy and policy and the nomination process for directors. Fellows received advanced board leadership training in the areas of crisis management, audit effectiveness, risk assessment, corporate finance and regulatory compliance.
