"Before taking the ACE Board Training Program I was feeling uncertain in how to articulate the value I bring to a board and lacked confidence in putting myself out there to make the ask of my network to connect me meaningfully. During the program I realized there are amazing women out there just like me feeling just like me. This truly helped overcome the imposter! I also forged lasting connections with women I admire. Post training, I am confident in the value I bring, the type of board I would love to serve and why and how to go make the connections needed to find the perfect board seat."
