Who We Are

We’re celebrating 10 years of getting more women on boards.

Founded in 2015, Women Get On Board Inc. (WGOB) is a social-purpose company committed to elevating the next generation of women corporate directors. Our mission is to connect, promote and empower women to serve on corporate boards with confidence and courage.

We are proud to amplify the voices of women leaders, board members, and professionals across Canada through education, mentorship, and allyship. Our philosophy is what has been termed the power of three: one woman in the boardroom is a token, two is a presence and three is a voice.
