Corporate Board Link

Corporate Board Link

 

WFF Corporate Board Link program is a ground-breaking industry first: a member program dedicated to Elevating Women Leaders. This new program has been designed to respond to the needs of our executive members interested in board service as well as companies that are interested in diversifying their boards.
 
Our goal is for Corporate Board Link to become a valuable resource to organizations seeking board qualified executives. While in pilot, the Corporate Board Link initiative has facilitated the referral of several WFF members for board positions. The results were significant. The following members were elected to corporate or advisory boards:

  • Fritzi Pikes-Woods, Buca, Inc. and Kellogg - Center for Executive Women, Steering Committee
  • Hala Moddelmog, HyperActive Technologies, Inc.
  • Joyce Mazero, Nina McLemore, Inc.
  • Deb Fratrik, Kozy Shack
  • Jane Melvin, Kozy Shack
  • Andrea Seidl, Kozy Shack
  • Cheryl Bachelder, National Restaurant Association 
  • Sylvia Wulf, Asoyia, Advisory Board
