Honorary Trustees play a vital role in shaping the future of women in board leadership. Each of our Trustees serves as a trusted advisor to participants in our QuickStart program, a six-month initiative that runs from September through March to prepare high-potential women who are members of Executive Alliance for their first corporate board seat. Led by executive board coach Suzanne Miglucci, the program delivers personalized coaching and practical strategies for board readiness.
The 2025/26 Board QuickStart Readiness Cohort has been solidified. Our Board QuickStart Readiness Program is NEW to Executive Alliance this year. The Board QuickStart Program is a focused, high-impact, six-month experience designed specifically for senior-level executive women who are ready to launch a serious campaign for their first compensated corporate board seat within the next two years. Combining expert-led virtual instruction with personalized mentoring from experienced board leaders, the program equips participants with practical tools, strategic insight, and high-level network needed to break into the boardroom.
