the solution responds to personal pain. In Chantel Cabaj’s case this nudge came from rhetoric against groups, and rights that had been considered “entrenched” suddenly become the subject of debate in the USA.
Chantel perceived a significant opportunity to expand knowledge, and the impact of effective decision making at the board table in order to enhance business and not-for-profit performance.
DirectHer Network was founded to open the conversation and train governance to a broader community, thus enhancing the pool of board-qualified candidates with an emphasis on women. BoardWell then followed as an online education platform to contribute to the strategic value of a board by aligning the team dynamics with technical governance.
Detail
Governance, which is effective decision making, is gaining increasing recognition as ESG measurement and reporting becomes more mainstream. Boards of directors are being held increasingly accountable to fully perform their strategic and governance role for their organizations; no longer serving a purpose to rubber-stamp management decisions where they are called to serve the best interests of the organization and stakeholders.

Enter DirectHer Network to open governance to a broader community, with an emphasis on women, and BoardWell to train boards of directors to work as a team with an agreed definition of strategy and activity.
