The 2nd workshop in the series for Women Corporate Directors was co-organized by FLO under the Greater 50 initiative of FICCI and conducted by Co-Chair of FWD PP Ranjana Agarwal. Other speakers were Monika Agrawal, Senior Client Manager, Kornferry and Bindu Sastry, Founder & MD, Mauverick.
The workshop aimed at making prospective women directors Board Ready. The Companies Act 2013 has made it mandatory for the prescribed class of companies to appoint at least one woman on their boards. This has opened up a huge opportunity for women who aspire to be Board Directors.
The workshop is designed to educate members how to be board ready with respect to attribute & soft skills required to succeed in the board room, how to identify mentors and role, responsibilities and liabilities of directors.
