Last Wednesday, 12 November, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of Women on Board Belgium. 15 years of progress, commitment, and impact in advancing governance diversity in Belgium.
The morning featured many powerful interventions:
-
Thank you to Annelies Verlinden, Minister of Justice, for her authentic and powerful opening speech.
-
Thank you to our panel composed of Bart De Smet (Ageas), Françoise Roels (BPost), Jean Hilgers (Wallonie Entreprendre), and Julie Lietaer (European Spinning Group), for a frank and dynamic discussion on the future of governance.
-
Thank you to Monica De Jonghe and the FEB/VBO for their hospitality and a very inspiring closing speech.
And congratulations to Suyin Aerts for the impeccable moderation!
Our ambition for the coming years is clear:
When an independent director position opens in Belgium, Women on Board must be among the first three calls.
Finally, thank you to our CEO Marie-Elisabeth Bellefroid and my Board colleagues for their vision and unwavering commitment.
The next 15 years start now.
Ready to make high-performing governance the norm?
