DirectWomen Sponsorship

DirectWomen is the only program specifically designed to identify, develop, and support a select group of accomplished women attorneys to provide qualified directors needed by the boards of U.S. companies while promoting the independence and diversity required for good corporate governance.

Your sponsorship at any level makes it possible for DirectWomen to advance it's ongoing mission, vision and goals through education, media outreach and public relations.

Below is a complete listing of the 2008 sponsorship opportunities. For a current listing of the 2008 DirectWomen Board Institute Sponsors, click here.
