The AWF’s overarching goal is to promote the advancement of women in the field of finance. One way of supporting such advancement is through the encouragement of female participation on boards which, in light of a large gender disparity at top organizational levels, provides women with the ability to lead and shape many of BC’s businesses and organizations.
The objective of AWF’s Women on Boards initiative is to support women in finance in their journey to the boardroom table by supplying them with the resources and information required to make informed decisions regarding board readiness and participation.
