Linklaters announces partnership with European Women on Boards to foster gender diversity in leadership
Linklaters is proud to announce its partnership with European Women on Boards (EWOB), a pivotal step in its ongoing commitment to promoting gender diversity and supporting the advancement of qualified women in leadership roles.
EWOB is a European non-profit association based in Brussels. Since its foundation in 2013, EWOB has been committed to advancing gender equality in decision-making roles across Europe.
The organization actively supports women and their career aspirations by providing professional development programs, international networking opportunities, and monthly events to its international community of women leaders. EWOB also champions change across Europe through research and advocacy in collaboration with local partners and European institutions.
Linklaters is particularly proud to support the participation of two women from underrepresented backgrounds in EWOB’s C-Level Program. Linklaters will also be actively contributing to the content of the training program through the facilitation of a legal workshop. The EWOB C-Level Program is designed to support senior female leaders in keeping pace with contemporary leadership challenges while connecting with other professionals facing similar challenges.
The partnership between Linklaters and EWOB represents a shared vision for a more diverse and inclusive corporate environment.
