Question: If there were a book about how the top California corporate women directors achieved their positions of leadership on boards, would you buy it? Why? or Why not?

I think the book is a very good idea to inspire women to reach for this level of leadership if they desire or want to look farther into this area. It would be something very important for young women to learn about.


Would buy: Biographies of women in biz need to be shared as you did with examples. Thanks!


Great topic and presentation -- This book will be of interest to women who are education and in business who are truly engaged and want to make a difference. I would be interested.


I was excited to hear that you are writing a book about women leaders and their accomplishments on the boards of directors -- I know many of the women would have bought one tonight!

Yes, I think it would be very valuable for women who aspire to get into corporate boards. I personally would not purchase it because I do not have that aspiration. I am happy sitting on the small nonprofit board I am on.


I don't believe I personally would buy a book like this. But, I believe there are many women this would speak volumes to. My particular passion in life doesn't necessarily place my goals on a board, but who knows .... my path has just begun.


Yes, for those women/men who are beginning in their career climb.
No, not your normal reading for study, leisure or motivation.
