Accelerating Gender Diversity in the Boardroom by Making the Connections that Make the Difference
We do the heavy lifting. Our services are white glove. Our membership is curated and selective. We make the match process frictionless and easy. Our goal is to advance gender diversity in the boardroom, with relevant “last mile” effort on behalf of qualified women and boards.
Aspire
