"The ACE Women Board training program was a pivotal event in my life. I joined to gain more proficiency, but walked away with multi-faceted tools that empowered me far beyond the seat of the board room. The program continues to remind me that our role as board members is a holistic offering that should bring triple bottom value to shareholders, employees and the communities we serve. An added benefit is being a member of the ACE cohort which continues to give lifelong friendship, engagement and support."
