Raising the bar and shining the light.

The biennial event is a powerful convening of leading CEOs and Board Directors to speak out on why and how to accelerate the pace of change to gender parity in the boardroom. Launched in 2011, each Breakfast has honored companies that exceeded the national average of women on boards. In 2023, we will be “shining the light” on companies with 40% or more women on their board. This year we are also pleased to include a pre-event coffee bar and networking time beginning at 7:30am, until the program start at 8:00am.

All honored companies receive 2 complimentary seats at the Breakfast. Below is the complete list of 233 companies that meet or exceed 40% women on their board. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. FOR QUESTIONS, CONTACT 2023BCC@womensforumny.org.

Each year we assemble an exciting program comprised of the most powerful and passionate advocates for boardroom gender parity across the country. 2023 will be no different. Below you will see some of the already confirmed participants, with more to come.
