UPWARD's Path to the Boardroom features Boyden's CEO & Board Services Partner, Karen Kosiba Edwards, as expert speaker

UPWARD—Uniting Professional Women Accelerating Relationships & Development—is a global network for executive women who come together to discuss the challenges women face and to identify creative solutions to overcome them. It’s a supportive place to build trusted relationships, share ideas, learn new skills, and grow in your career in order to navigate today’s challenging business world.

UPWARD DC Metro chapter has a diversity of industries to model UPWARD’s current chapters.  There are a variety of quarterly large events, intimate Table of 10’s with a C-suite mentor and Power Breakfasts held in various locations around the city. The DC community values the collective power of successful women helping each other achieve more and honors the value of each member for her unique talents, background and experiences.

UPWARD DC METRO's Event - PATH TO THE BOARDROOM, PART II, will feature expert speakers, including Boyden CEO and Board Services Partner, Karen Kosiba Edwards, in a "unconference" format where everyone contributes! Instead of a formal presentation with Q&A, attendees will form groups to pool collective knowledge and discuss topics such as:

• Get on Your First Corporate Board
• Join a Nonprofit Board
• Recruit More Women to Join Your Board
