Partner With AFARA

For Professional Development of Your Female Leaders

Investing in women leaders pays dividends and increases retention. 95% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it simply invested in their learning (CNBC). 


AFARA offers extraordinary professional development + actual board experience for women leaders at a fraction of the cost of other opportunities.

To Increase Gender Diversity in the Boardroom

Diversity builds better businesses. Fortune 500 companies where women hold more than 30% of board seats outperform peers (Fortune).

AFARA Board Contributors are an innovative, low-risk way to build trust and confidence with a new board member. Contributors don’t have voting rights and may have shorter terms. This bridge to Board Director is a win-win for companies to take action on their DEI commitments and increase board diversity, while working with qualified women leaders who contribute their unique insights and skills to the boardroom.

Three ways you can partner with AFARA:

Sponsorships

Become a sponsor and nominate high-potential women leaders in your organization to engage in an extraordinary professional development experience that includes executive education, 1:1 coaching and landing a Board Contributor role at another AFARA partner company. 

Board Contributors

Create a Board Contributor role on your Board of Directors and start engaging an exceptional woman leader’s skills, experiences and perspective. We’ll help with every step of the process from board approval to candidate selection. 

Match Service

AFARA is increasing the pipeline of highly-qualified women for board service by giving women leaders actual board experience. We can identify and onboard a well-matched woman leader with Board Contributor experience who is ready to step into a Board Director role on your board.
