Bank on Women is committed to finding the most qualified candidates and has been building and maintaining a database of potential Director candidates.

• The database doubled in 2020 and continues to grow.

• Bank on Women has sourced candidates for multiple Board searches.

• We are currently working with several Boards and Board Corporate & Governance Committees on efforts to promote gender diversity.

We want to expand your networks and broaden the traditional recruitment channels to ensure a more qualified, diverse slate with diverse skill sets.

We want to seek local community leaders from in-market businesses, nonprofit and/or educational organizations as qualified female candidates may emerge through indirect career paths, other sectors of the financial industry or are in finance but outside of financial services.

• Diverse skill sets broaden ability to capture local market knowledge and relevant experience.

• Insist on gender diverse slates candidates and interviewers to negate tokenism and demonstrate to candidates that your bank is diverse.

• Support from existing board members when it comes to diversifying your board is critical to success. Intentionally engage all members and ensure buy-in. Provide coaching for inclusive leadership.

• Review director on-boarding, ongoing engagement, and integrate new directors into the board’s culture and make corporate governance more inclusive and effective.

• Should be welcoming to people with different connections or social backgrounds, build trust, facilitate open communication. Thoughtful composition of board committees.
