“Women bring perspective, credibility, and lived experience to nonprofit boards — and that changes everything.”br br – Kakul Misra, Director, Strategic Capacity Building, ISDMbr br br br At ISDM, we believe that having more women on the boards of Social Purpose Organisations is not about ticking a box—it's about strengthening how decisions are made, how governance is practiced, and how long-term impact is ensured. India continues to miss a critical leadership opportunity by overlooking mid-career women for these roles. Despite bringing a strong sense of purpose, risk-awareness, and inclusive leadership, many capable women remain excluded due to systemic barriers and narrow leadership archetypes. br br br br The Women on Boards program at ISDM seeks to address this gap by creating structured, visible pathways for women leaders to contribute meaningfully at the highest levels of decision-making.br br br br Designed for women with 15+ years of experience, the program supports those ready to lead beyond traditional roles—seeking purpose, growth, and impact. It combines deep governance insights with a trusted peer community, enabling women to step into non-profit board roles with clarity, confidence, and conviction. By fostering inclusive mindsets and strong networks, it helps build boardrooms that are not just diverse, but effective and accountable.br br br br Diversity on boards isn’t a bonus — it’s a necessity.br br The boardroom is evolving — and Cohort 8 is taking shape.br br br br If you’re ready to take your seat at the table, this is your moment.
