That’s how many corporate boards seats in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia are filled by women.
Founded by Women in Technology (WIT), The Leadership Foundry targets female executives interested in serving on a corporate board. The program prepares you for board service and provides opportunities to make connections and develop relationships that could lead to a board position.
Intensive board training
Our program includes an intensive training session with National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) to prepare you to serve on a corporate board.
Networking opportunities
Make valuable connections through meetings and networking events.
Research and advocacy
We partner with American University to publish an annual count of board gender diversity in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
If you have a passion to see more female leadership in our area, join us in making our dream of gender-diverse corporate boards a reality.

From finite tasks to larger initiatives, there are many volunteer opportunities available on our Planning Committee, which plans and runs The Leadership Foundry.
