To Join the Advisory Board of Global #Leadership Organisation Sit At The (Boardroom) Table
It is with the greatest pleasure and absolute delight that I can now reveal what has been a well kept secret.
I have accepted the invitation from global leadership organisation Sit At The Table (definitely The Boardroom Table) to join their Advisory Board. This announcement coincides with the launch of their fabulous new website http://www.sitatthetable.org #sitatthetable @sitatthetable packed with amazing resources for women who currently are, or aspire to become, a Board Member, Company Director, Non-Executive Director of any size of business or organisation AND it the site is also for Presidents, Chairmen, CEO’s and Head Hunters who want to encourage exceptional women to apply for their Boards.
Our Mission
To raise awareness and promote collaborative, competent and effective gender balance on advisory boards, board of directors and executive c-suite, empower more qualified women to take action, and drive the message of equality and efficacy into corporate boardrooms worldwide.
This is life-changing, world-changing and you can be a fundamental part of it SO – I invite you to join us…
UK based but globally operating, Award-winning Valerie Dwyer has a distinguished career as a Serial Entrepreneur, President, Chair, Director, Non-Executive Director and Board Member of a wide variety of organisation including Business, NGO, UK and Local Government Led body, Public and Private Sector, Business Representative Organisation, Non-Profit and Registered Charity where her input and strategic decision making has safeguarded and invested in excess of £1 billion in total.
A former advisor to the UK Government as a Member of the Women’s Enterprise Taskforce, charged with strategies for widening the opportunities for increasing the number of UK Women Entrepreneurs, she is delighted with their legacy which includes (this not exclusively, because of the wealth of information amassed and also the positive ’knock-on’ effect that is now being realised with the exponential growth in the increasing number of new UK women’s enterprises) the £25 million Aspire fund investing in women’s high growth potential enterprises. Valerie is also a founder Member of the UK Women’s Enterprise Ambassadors, Chair of a Region Women’s Enterprise Ambassadors Group and Champion for the STAR PRIZE – Women’s Enterprise and Economic Development with a Regional Development Agency, recognising the huge untapped economic potential that is women’s enterprise.
Valerie’s #Vision, #Mission and Passion is a world in which equal numbers of men and women start and successfully grow their businesses and make up the Boards of all types of organisation. She firmly believes that a balance of male and female thinking, risk taking and decision making presents the optimum opportunity!
The wealth of irrefutable evidence gleaned from in depth global research confirms that ‘Fit for Purpose’ Boards of the 21st Century are ‘Gender Balanced Boards’ that make the best decisions and optimise opportunities for their organisations.
The new www.sitatthetable.org website is a mine of regularly updated valuable resources including Articles, Videos, Books (including the highly acclaimed global anthology ‘Woman Power: Strategies for Female Leaders’ and ‘The Confidence to Succeed’, plus upcoming Events, Blog and positively encourages viewing and engagement by both males and females in order to improve understanding of the exceptional global, economic, business, sustainability growth and success potential from achieving Gender Balanced Boards.
In no way is this about quotas. It is entirely about encouraging Presidents, Chairmen (and the Head Hunters for) of currently male dominated boards to consider the immense opportunities from encouraging astute, experienced and more than capable female entrepreneurs, businesswomen and senior managers to go confidently forward in applying to utilise their considerable expertise for the benefit of your Boards. And, if there are broken links in the chain, to consider setting up a Mentoring Programme to support the new generation of women with leadership potential. To miss this opportunity would be to overlook the significant competitive advantage that comes from being first into the new market niche!
