Elizabeth Ghaffari of Champion Boards is interviewed
by Frances Anderton, Los Angeles radio producer and host, about
the career paths chosen by women on corporate boards of directors
at California-based Fortune 1000 firms. Some surprising conclusions!
(1/5/07)
Fortune Magazine (April 21, 2008 issue) reports that
the number of women CEOs among the Fortune 1000 declined by 2
from 2007 to 2008. Four of last year's firms with women CEOs went
off the list and one woman CEO retired (Margaret C. Whitman of
eBay). Two new names were added (Anne Stevens of Carpenter Technology
and Peggy Fowler of Portland General Electric) while Irene Rosenfeld
of Kraft Foods returned to the list. See: Women
CEOs on the Fortune 1000.

Advice from the Talented Women on Boards
Women who actually SERVE on public corporate boards of directors have been telling us for years what it takes to reach that unique level of leadership. Why haven't we listened to what they have to say? What are the lessons we could learn from them?
At Champion Boards, we conduct surveys in order to learn about what DOES work: Where ARE women getting on boards? What economic sectors? What geographic areas? What size boards? How are the women and the boards doing it? What are the qualifications of the women? their experience? their professional credentials?
At Champion Boards, we look at the national and international experience -- again, to understand what works and why?
At Champion Boards, we offer a different perspective on building great boards of directors. Give us a call when you're serious about growing your business -- with the strategic assistance of a champion board of advisors or directors.

On A Personal Note
. . . from Elizabeth Ghaffari, President/CEO of Technology Place
Inc. and the founder of Champion Boards.
You probably want to know more about me and why I'm investing
my time and energies to advocate on behalf of other women to take
leadership positions on boards of directors in the 21st century.
Fair enough. . . . more.
