"I participated in the Vancouver BC program as I am interested in serving as a director for both domestic US and international organizations. The ACE training helped me succinctly clarify my value proposition as a C-Suite executive and board advisor. The program structure enables the participants of each cohort to learn about each other and develop alliances. Being a member of the ACE Alums provides a larger network of fabulous and talented women – all interested in supporting each other while also achieving our own goals."
