Message from the Chair

In this month's Update, I am pleased to share news about this year's DirectWomen Board Institute class. DirectWomen alumnae currently serve on more than 100 corporate boards and, as I reflect on the success of our alumnae, I am confident that many members of the 2020-2021 class will similarly receive future appointments as directors and will add significant value to their companies’ boards. Please see the announcement below to learn more about these 22 highly accomplished women lawyers. 

All the best,

Catharine Biggs Arrowood
Chair, DirectWomen
