Be part of the change

Applications for the 2025 Program are Open Through 11:59pm ET on Friday, June 20, 2025.

If you have a passion to see more female leadership in our area, join us in making our dream of gender-diverse corporate boards a reality. 

Our ten-month program consists of an intensive training curriculum with the NACD, as well as support for NACD certification study groups, training and networking events to make meaningful connections and build trusted relationships throughout the program.

Join the Planning Committee

If you’re dedicated to helping advance women to the boardroom and are interesting in networking with like-minded women, you’d be an excellent candidate for our Planning Committee. There are many ways you can support this program, from finite tasks to larger initiatives including:

• Partnerships and sponsorships
• Event management
• PR/media, publications and marketing
• Alumnae group development and support

Committee meetings are held monthly or as needed. Active committee members are invited to attend open networking events of The Leadership Foundry. Please note that serving on the committee does not preclude you from applying for the program during that year.

To volunteer for the committee or for more information about The Leadership Foundry, contact us at [email protected].

Join the Steering Committee

The Leadership Foundry’s Steering Committee includes senior executives to provide guidance on program policies and operations, review participant training and networking resources for continued quality, aid in partner recruitment, and recommend speakers or lead one-on-one sessions with program participants.

Steering Committee members have served on a board and are expected to attend at least one to two Steering Committee meetings each year and one or more of the participant networking or training events.
