Women
in the Boardroom, formerly known
as Women on Boards, is an executive
leadership event designed to assist
in the preparation of board service
– better qualifying you and
connecting you with the right
people and resources. Our panelists
are executives with for-profit
board experience and a desire
to share their knowledge and necessary
tools for serving as a director.
Although the focus is for-profit
boards, much of the knowledge
gained can be applied to non-profit
service.
Having originated in 2002 in a
single city, Women in the Boardroom
has now become an annual event,
scheduled to be in 15 cities in
2010. Don’t let the name
fool you. All current presidents,
directors and professionals in
leadership roles – men and
women – are encouraged to
attend as an opportunity to mentor,
learn from each other or find
their next great executive or
board member. |
|
The
event begins with a two-hour panel
presentation and Q&A. Topics
of discussion include:
| |
·
|
Role
of being a director |
| |
·
|
Differences
of a non-profit, private
and public board |
| |
· |
Board
selection process |
| |
·
|
Being
an effective board member |
| |
· |
Positioning
yourself for board service/taking
the next step |
|
The
role of women on boards continues
to evolve, as have all other leadership
roles for women in business. In
today's corporate climate of increased
scrutiny of board governance,
boards of directors are being
held more accountable than ever.
Composition is being closely watched
and CEOs and directors are frequently
broadening their search for new
board members to include women
and minorities. Currently, women
represent only 15.2% of Fortune
500 company board membership and
Women in the Boardroom is out
to change that!
Panel
Includes: Doreen
Wright – Former Senior Vice
President & Chief Information
Officer, Campbell Soup Company;
Maureen Breakiron-Evans –
Retired Chief Financial Officer,
Towers Perrin; (additional panelist
to come); Facilitator: Elva L.
Bankins – Senior Partner,
Kelleher Associates LLC.

Margaret (Peggy)
Eichelberger
Margaret joined the Philadelphia Chapter in September
and resides in Douglasville, PA. Peggy has her masters
in accounting from DeVry University and a BS in accounting
from Albright College. She is currently looking for a
new job opportunity. Her most recent position was controller
for Guardian Fire Equipment. She has worked as a senior
supervising accountant in the printing industry and has
also worked in public accounting. Peggy found ASWA through
our websites. We wish Peggy the best of luck in her search
for a new position.
Linda Miller
Linda just became a student member in January
and resides in Spring City, PA with two grown children
and a teenager still at home. She is a non-traditional
student with an associate degree in Finance from Ursinus,
who has returned to pursue her accounting degree at West
Chester University. Linda first attended our Student Night
Event, this past November. We hope that ASWA will help
her as she completes her studies and explores her career
choices.
Tricia Loughney
Tricia became a member in November 2009, “and although
I have not had the opportunity yet to meet her, we have
learned some about her family life.” This is through
the voice of her husband, Bob Loughney in his annual accounts
of life as an FBI agent, during our student night panel
discussions over the past few years. This is how we have
been introduced to Tricia: Tricia is currently the director
of internal audit at Nova Bank. Previously, she held various
positions at T. Rowe Price. She also worked with banking
clients on the audit staff of KPMG. A graduate of LaSalle
University, Tricia resides in Elkins Park, PA. We look
forward to meeting Tricia at one of our future meeting.
