The Interorganizational Network (ION) announced it has rebranded as The Leaderboard. The change reflects the renewed commitment to advancing women's leadership in corporate boardrooms nationwide. With a revised mission and a dedication to gender diversity and excellence, The Leaderboard aims to bring greater awareness to and amplify its reputation for aggregating top board talent.
Initially founded in 2004 with an educational and best-practice focus to assist women in preparing for board service, The Leaderboard has become a national alliance of women's executive networks dedicated to supporting boardroom and corporate excellence. It is well-documented that corporate boards outperform their peers in profitability and productivity when they embrace diversity in gender and executive experience. The Leaderboard is poised to influence more women's appointments to corporate board roles, thus fostering enhanced performance and innovation.
Member organizations represent a broad footprint across the country, and include: Bank on Women; Executive Alliance, MD; Financial Women’s Association of New York; Inforum, MI; OnBoard, GA; OnBoardNC, NC; The Boston Club, MA; The Forum of Executive Women, PA; and Women’s Executive Leadership, FL.
"We are thrilled to unveil The Leaderboard as a dynamic organization dedicated to empowering women's leadership in corporate boardrooms," said Lynne Durbin, President and Executive Committee Chair at The Leaderboard. "Our rebranding reflects our commitment to driving positive change and fostering inclusive environments where diverse voices are valued and celebrated. By championing women's representation on corporate boards, we aim to unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and sustainable success."
