  • "The Women in the Boardroom preparation process has enabled me to land two corporate board seats. The various webinars and one-on-one sessions with Sheila helped me understand how board placement works and prepared me for my board interviews. I have been able to position myself as a competitive applicant for board opportunities. The process continues to work for me!”

    Deb Elam

    President & CEO, Corporate Playbook

  • "I landed my first corporate board seat by reading everything that there was to read provided by WIB, watching all Women in the Boardroom webinars, and doing exactly as Sheila recommended.”

    Keira Krausz

    Chief Marketing Officer of HPOne

  • "Within my first year of membership, I was connected to Kaiser Aluminum, a public company with over 2 Billion in revenue. They had two upcoming board seats that would be vacant and reached out to WIB to help find the right people. The coaching I received from Sheila Ronning helped me to be well-prepared for the board interviews I landed for Kaiser Aluminum. I am thrilled to say that within the following 18 months, I was elected by the Board of Directors to fill one of the vacant spots. And now, today, I am in the running for an additional board seat that I learned of through Women In The Boardroom’s notifications. I highly recommend the WIB VIP Membership to any executive woman preparing or looking for a public company corporate board seat."

    Teresa Sebastian

  • "As a VIP member of WIB one of the many benefits of membership is being notified of various board openings. One of the board openings that came through was for a mutual fund, Columbia Threadneedle, and I am thrilled that I am now on their board of directors. I am extremely grateful to WIB for making this possible. I would not have known of this opportunity nor been able to apply for the position had it not been for WIB. In addition, the advice from Sheila Ronning and the board and executive coaches, and the knowledge provided through their webinars really helped me. I will continue to be a VIP member and I encourage anyone else seeking a corporate board seat to join as well."

    Sandy Yeager

    Independent Director, Columbia Threadneedle Funds

  • "I very much appreciated my connection to Women in the Boardroom. The resources and recorded webinars were excellent. The one-on-one calls were inspirational and provided advice and understanding about how I was hindering myself by not using my network appropriately."

    SVP & Chief Administrative Officer, AVNET

  • "The strength and energy Sheila Ronning has is incredible. She builds up women more than she could ever imagine."

    Becky Pratt

    President, Mattan Pratt Consulting, LLC

  • "As a VIP member, Women in the Boardroom provided me with a place to start and the structured process I needed. The preparation of my personal value add, and the focused and highly instructional webinars were also very beneficial. Also, as a VIP member of WIB, I had access to the Board Openings Notification program, which informed me of many board seat opportunities. Had it not been for my VIP membership, I would not have had visibility to these opportunities. Ultimately, my membership with Women in the Boardroom, led me to joining the Board of Directors for Darling Ingredients, a $3.3B global company creating sustainable feed, food, & fuel for a growing population. Along the way, I met many amazing like-minded women. I’ll be forever grateful to WIB for the preparation and access during my board journey."
