We are still buzzing with excitement from the recent BIB event in NYC. This incredible program brought together inspiring women and leaders, creating a space for growth, connection, and empowerment. We are immensely proud of the collaboration and hard work from the teams at Deerfield Management, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, and Advancium Health Network. We are incredibly proud of the 77+ placements of women on boards and will continue to uplift women in leadership roles! #WomenInHealthcare
Almost 60 women representing a broad cross section of the healthcare industry participated in this unique event to enhance their knowledge of board governance and build the skills necessary to both obtain and maintain an impactful board seat. Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to network with a diverse speaker group representing investors, recruiting and operating perspectives, as well as to begin forging bonds with their fellow attendees. Topics touched upon included: building and optimizing board experience; understanding board governance, structure and responsibilities; evaluating board fit in the context of personal skills, goals, and expectations; and developing personal value propositions. This annual event is sponsored by Deerfield Management, Oxeon, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, and Advancium Health Network. It is part of a larger Break into the Boardroom initiative, which also provides board placements, career coaching, advancement opportunities and encourages connections to alumni and resources to support women on their board placement journey.
