Women in Retail Member Workshop | Pathways to the Boardroom: Positioning Yourself for a Corporate Board Seat
Board seats are no longer reserved for retired CEOs. Today, companies are actively seeking leaders with diverse perspectives and specialized expertise—but the path to securing a paid board role can still feel unclear. In this workshop, Susan Hart, Partner, Boards and CEO Practices, and Co-Leader of the Global Retail, Apparel & Luxury Goods Practice at Spencer Stuart, and Laurel McCarthy, Member of the North American Board Practice at Spencer Stuart, will demystify the board selection process. They’ll share what corporate boards are truly looking for, how to effectively position yourself as a candidate, and actionable steps you can take now to build visibility and credibility. The session will also cover the differences between board roles across industries, the recruitment and interview process, trends shaping board composition, and strategies for standing out. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the presenters.
