Corporate Board
Preparation & Placement

The Boston Club is committed to accelerating progress toward gender parity on corporate, private company, and nonprofit boards. Building on our decades as a groundbreaking and driving force in preparing and placing women on boards in the Boston area and beyond, we: 

 

  • Offer top-tier board preparation and placement programs, delivering education and mentoring to guide TBC members in positioning themselves for success in the highly competitive landscape for board seats —  and to excel once in these highly sought after positions 
  • Partner with nationally recognized training and placement organizations, such as National Association of Corporate Directors – New England, as well as with national board placement networks, like The Leaderboard, 30% Coalition, and others, often benefitting from free or discounted rates for TBC members. 
  • Bring more than two decades of leadership and advocacy for gender parity on corporate boards and executive C-suites, most notably through our annual Census of Women Directors and Executive Officers of the Top 100 Massachusetts Public Companies. In partnership with Bentley University, we examine annual trends in board composition and executive leadership to monitor progress toward more diverse representation.

Peer Mentoring

The TBC Peer Mentoring Program is a cohort-based program, developed over many years, pairing members for a six-month mentor/mentee connection. Members work together to set professional and personal goals and set a cadence of meetings and conversations that evolves over time. This program offers a curated journey of mutual exploration that allows both the mentee and mentor to grow and learn together. 


This members-only program opens each fall to interested applicants. The application is currently open through September 16. Members can access the application through our latest newsletter. For more information about the TBC Peer Mentoring Program, please contact contact TBC Member Lauren Clausen or Molly Doyle.
