Welcome Word!


Dear members and partners,

Before the summer break, we are happy to share with you the latest news on Women on Board

  1. The number of nominations is our highlight of the yearly General Assembly. This year the number was the record holder for 5 years: 62 members communicated 106 board nominations since June last year. You can read their names and appointments further in this Newsletter. Warm congratulations and good luck to all of them! Let’s continue to develop new board journeys and make boards stronger!
  2. We are proud and grateful for our collaboration with Guberna, The Shift, BoardCompanions, Women in Finance, VKW Limburg and UHasselt, De Bestuurder. These longstanding and more recent partnerships testify that the positive impact of gender-diverse boards is increasingly recognised and makes both partners stronger.
  3. On the board of Women on Board, there is one vacancy this year and three vacancies next year. Following a call for candidates, the Nominations Committee received many valuable candidacies, all testifying the association’s continuous engagement and support. However, the board decided to put the selection process on hold to further reflect and develop a more diverse board of directors.

We hope you will celebrate a beautiful summer

With warm regards,
Françoise Roels and Trees Paelinck


The Numbers


297 ‘Talent Pool’ members 

We welcome in the talent pool new members: 
Huberte Bettonville, Sarah De Greef, Els Demeester, Marijke Keters, Sandra Lodewijckx, Marie-Ange Marx, Katrien Meire

64 Supportive members & 16 Women on Track 


Expert Database


Did you know only about 25 % of experts interviewed in the media are women? De expert-database of the Flemish Government, managed by Elke Jeurissen, wants to change that number. (Watch this video for a short introduction)

We need you to become more visible and share your expertise with journalists.
As a board member, you are already an expert in your field of work. All of you fit the criteria of the expert-database.
So make your expert profile today and become an expert for the media. 

How does it work?

  1. go to expertendatabank.be and make an expert profile so journalists can find you, you can change your profile at any time and decide what part of your profile is visible
  2. once you have an expert profile, you get immediate access to an online media training video full of interactive exercises about how to link your expertise to the news, how to prepare for an interview and how to become more visible –  you can watch the free video every time you need it
  3. journalists will be able to find you on the expert database through key words, so make sure to include them in your profile! the best thing to do is to add a short CV video to your profile

Together, we can make diverse voices visible and heard. Don’t overthink this, just make your profile and share your expertise with the world. 
 


Women on Track ‘final’ session

To finalize and complete the workshops with Women on Track, the working group edited the following messages for their fellow Women on Track

AN ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY BY KATHLEEN VAN DEN BERGHE

10/6/2021


Kathleen Van Den Berghe, a member of Women on Board also runs 2 vineyards and lodgings in the Loire. She manages these domains on a sustainable basis and ensures that the wines are bio. 
She took us to the Loire with her video and pictures explaining the soil differences, grape varieties and skills needed to ensure a fruitful year. All the while the participants tasted her red and white wine. Delicious!

Women on Board est en collaboration avec Louvain School of Management (Université Catholique de Louvain) sur la place du développement durable dans les conseils d’administration (CA) d’entreprises.

Nous avons créer des “focus group”  afin de créer un espace propice à la récolte d’informations pertinentes sur le sujet. 

Nous sommes heureux de mentionner qu’Isabelle Chaput est membre de ce focus group.
