Year in Review

January 1, 2023

Executive Alliance believes in women’s leadership! Our initiatives support our members and promote women’s representation at the highest levels of power.  As 2022 comes to a close, we look back in celebration and unity.


We’re especially proud to act as a convener, bringing together over 900 women through publicly available programs and events, such as:


In addition to raising visibility around issues of women’s representation, we provided opportunities for women to get to know each other and build a powerful network of women supporting other women.  Our membership, over 100 women strong, met in person at six member meetings / socials.  Other coffees and lunches were organized by individual members.  Our nine robust committees met on a monthly basis to move the mission forward.Our members support the next generation of leaders by sharing their expertise and network and mentoring others.

  • Our Effective Impact Mentoring program has 11 outstanding mentees and members provide one-on-one mentoring.
  • How to be a great mentor provided a practical guide to getting the most our of a mentor/mentee relationship (recording here)
  • The Emerging Women Leaders scholarship provided $5,400 to a young woman studying medicine at the University of Maryland.  
  • We celebrated the graduation of several COVID-delayed mentoring classes (presentation here).  Graduates of the program joined the 143 women who have completed this transformational program.

Why Board Readiness Matters More Than Ever

August 14, 2026
For years, progress toward greater gender diversity in corporate boardrooms seemed to be accelerating. Today, the landscape is shifting. Recent Bloomberg reporting found that white men have received approximately 60% of new S&P 500 board appointments in 2026 (the highest share in a decade) while women have received about one-quarter of new board seats, down from one-third the previous year. Companies cite economic uncertainty, AI, geopolitical risk, and a desire for experienced leaders as reasons for narrowing their searches. At Executive Alliance, we don't see this as a reason to step back. We see it as a reason to become even more intentional. Board opportunities have always been competitive. The women who earn them are rarely the ones who decide to pursue board service after an opening is announced. They're the leaders who have spent years building the experience, relationships, and visibility that position them for success. Board Service Requires a Different Kind of Leadership
