Last week, Riviera Partners was proud to co-host an insightful event with enrich, featuring an inspiring panel discussion with Jennifer Taylor, Marcie Vu, and Anjali Joshi on how women can secure board seats. The conversation was full of practical advice and actionable steps for aspiring board members. Standout insights?: ➡️ The journey to the boardroom often starts with saying “yes” to your first opportunity—even if it’s not what you envisioned. That first seat opens the door to future opportunities. ➡️Another key takeaway was the reminder that being a board member isn’t about offering advice—it’s about understanding and fulfilling the strategic responsibilities that come with the role. ➡️And finally, joining a board is a significant commitment, often requiring a few days of focused effort each month. Thank you to enrich for partnering with us to host this impactful discussion, our speakers and to everyone who attended. We’re excited to continue the discussions! #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenOnBoards #BoardroomInsights #RivieraPartners Jack Gage Sam Wilkins Margot Pugh
