The annual events included:

  • Four virtual Industry Conversations in live discussions with CEOs and Board Chairs from Target, eBay, e.l.f., Mastercard, Bank of America, BNY Mellon, HP, HubSpot, Upwork, Merck, Rite Aid, and Quest Diagnostics from the Consumer, Healthcare, Financial Services, and Technology sectors.
  • 18 in-person networking events in the U.S. and five international cities, attracting nearly 3,000 women coached by corporate directors based on their career level.
  • The third annual Global Conversation, with the leaders of seven international stock exchanges, including New York, Toronto, Mexico City, Johannesburg, Tokyo, India, and London, who focused on how to move beyond representation on the board among their listed companies.

"We are grateful for the support of all our sponsors and in-kind donors. Their commitment advances women by engaging and inviting their networks to our events, workshops, and the Networking Hub, which support a woman's board journey," said Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, CEO of 50/50 Women on Boards. "In 2022, we saw a slower pace of women joining corporate boards, so it is more critical now for corporations to invest in women's leadership mobility. We applaud our enlightened sponsors for helping us accelerate more women to boards."

Holding a Platinum Transparency Rating on GuideStar, more than 83% of funds raised by 50/50WOB goes directly to support its research, board-readiness workshops, educational events, and advocacy efforts. Benefits for partnering with the organization, include access to the events, board readiness workshops, subscriptions to the Networking Hub, and visibility for their company's DEI efforts.
