The network of women with board of directors training
The most successful source of recruitment for female board members since 2011
The valuable potential of women is still being underused on board of directors. The Female Board Pool’s goal is to considerably increase the proportion of competent and dedicated women on the boards of directors of companies to bolster its effectiveness.
“The network of talented, board-ready women that Female Board Pool offers to the business community is essential. There is still work to do to increase the share of female senior executives in Luxembourg. I strongly believe that having more women at top level is good for society and is good for business. Boards that combine male and female approaches make better, more sustainable decisions.
ING has partnered with Female Board Pool and Mrs. Knott for years. We gladly recommend the program and the professional approach towards candidates and companies for their quality.”

Just as the male members of supervisory and advisory boards have long maintained an informal OLD BOYS CLUB to nurture their network, we invite the ladies who have attended one of our Female Board Pool seminars to continue to meet and exchange ideas in a “YOUNG” GIRLS CLUB.
As part of this, interactive workshop days are organised each year on several dates, during which tools and support in the process of finding and exercising mandates are offered and discussed in a relaxed atmosphere, and where successes are shared.
