Pender & Howe shares Women in Bio’s commitment to support diversity in the boardroom by increasing board leadership opportunities for women in Canada’s Life Science and Biotechnology sectors.
The ECBG program builds the skills that board members need to be effective by deciphering the growing complexities of board responsibilities and governance issues and delineating a framework for refined decision-making. The result is a direct pipeline of prospective life science directors with an in-depth knowledge of board governance, primed for rapid onboarding.
