Considering a board role for your career growth? Board positions, be it in a non-profit or corporate setting, offer valuable opportunities for professional development and enhancing your personal brand.
Women on boards make a tangible impact on a company’s bottom line. A report by McKinsey & Company found that companies with 30% or more women on their boards see a 15% increase in profitability. This data highlights the financial benefits of having diverse leadership at the top.
If you’re ready to step into board governance, now is the time to act. Women bring tremendous value to the boardroom, and your unique talents and perspectives can help shape the future of organizations.
In this holiday issue of Career Mastered Magazine, we shed the light on what it takes to get Board Ready. For example, begin by identifying boards that align with your values and vision, seek out necessary training, and prepare to make a meaningful impact. The future of leadership is diverse—and your voice belongs at the table.
Our cover story is a tale of heart and persistence about the work that Jennifer Hunter Sherrill is doing as the Carolinas Chapter Leader of 50/50 Women on Boards. Jennifer, along with her executive planning team supports the overall mission that boldly calls for gender balance and diversity on corporate boards of the Russell 3000 Index companies.
In this issue, we’re super excited to encourage you to nominate a deserving woman today for the Career Mastered Women’s History Leadership in Action Award or the Diversity IMPACT 50 Award. We’re heading to Savannah, Georgia for the 11th Annual Summit & Awards, April 2-3, 2025. Keep up with all of the happenings on www.careermastered.com and by following us on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn at Career Mastered.

Whether you’re looking for the best books to read, a beauty survival guide, or learning more about what it takes to get board ready, we’ve got plenty of how-to answers at your fingertips.
Here’s to a joyous holiday season!
