Onboard Her
Your Leadership, Amplified: Join the "Onboard Her" Revolution
​
According to AFDB, women account for only 14% of total board membership of the top companies in Africa.
This gender gap in corporate boardrooms is however more than a statistic, it's a missed opportunity. An opportunity to embrace the talent, creativity, and leadership of women like you.
