Join Stanford Women on Boards!

Apply for Stanford Women on Boards by 11:59pm on Monday, January 20th here!

Stanford Women on Boards (SWB) is recruiting a new class of Associates. SWB is committed to increasing the representation of Stanford alumnae on corporate and fiduciary boards, increasing Stanford women’s readiness for board service, and further developing the capabilities and influence of Stanford women already on boards.

California has enacted a new law mandating that companies incorporated or headquartered in California which are listed on major U.S. stock exchanges appoint a minimum number of women to their Boards of Directors. As a result, SWB believes this is an excellent time to make it easy for boards of public corporations to find qualified Stanford women alumnae to serve on their Boards.

This is a great position if you are interested in learning about board dynamics or if you want to work with inspirational Stanford alums in a very unique setting. Fill out the interest form here!

  • Contacting board recruiters at venture capital firms, private equity firms, executive recruiting firms and Nominating Committees of Boards of Directors to ask for their active board search profiles.

  • Matching SWB member profiles to board search profiles and recommending qualified candidates to board recruiters.

  • Supporting the SWB Technology Committee in developing an easy-to-use, automated process for recruiters to find qualified SWB candidates.

  • Supporting the SWB Outreach Committee in maximizing the number of board searches which include SWB candidates.
