An Update on the Future of Boardbound by Women’s Leadership Foundation

For more than a decade, Boardbound by Women’s Leadership Foundation is proud to have served as a catalyst in Colorado for helping to increase the number of women on boards through its programs and advocacy.   

As one of the first organizations in Colorado to champion this cause, we’ve operated as a volunteer-fueled group for over a decade. As our programs and goals have grown, we have realized the mission will be best advanced by other leading organizations that are well-funded and resourced.   

Therefore, 2023 served as the Women’s Leadership Foundation’s and its Boardbound programs’ final year, with the last cohort of the Corporate Boardbound programs completed in September 2023.

As the world around us has gotten more complex, it is critical to have diverse representation in the board room. We’re deliberate in ensuring our Board represents the communities we serve. As CEO, I’ve received incredible insights by engaging different perspectives, which leads to richer and better decision making.”
