PWN WoB Webinar: Demystifying Board Types: Your Strategic Roadmap to the Right Board Role

Choosing to pursue board service is a powerful step. Choosing the right type of board is what determines whether that step accelerates or stalls your journey. Advisory boards, governing boards, non-profit boards, trustee roles, and working boards all look similar from the outside. In reality, they carry very different expectations, responsibilities, risks, and levels of influence. This masterclass is designed to bring clarity. As part of the Women on Boards Programme core learning series, this session gives members a clear, structured way to understand board types and make informed, confident decisions about where, and how, to serve. In this masterclass, you will: Understand the main board types and how they differ in purpose, authority, accountability, and time commitment Clarify what each board type expects from its members, legally and practically Assess your own readiness, risk appetite, and strengths against different board roles Identify the right entry point for your current career stage Gain a practical decision framework you can reuse when evaluating future board opportunities You will leave with a clear lens for evaluating board roles, avoiding common missteps, and building a board portfolio with intention.
