Heredia-Lopez, CFA, discuss what it means to serve on boards—as owners, stewards, and stakeholders—and the importance of diversity on boards; debunking the myths: “not enough qualified women,” “just a matter of time,” “women are not interested”; discovering how to get on the right board for your skills and parallels and the cross benefits of career and board life; setting concrete goals for corporate reform (e.g., 30% Club) and term limits to renew the boardroom mix of skills, expertise, and behaviors.
