The Women On Boards Project heads to Chicago! 🌆 Our leadership team is excited to gather for an offsite in the beautiful Windy City. We are always super thoughtful about how we use our precious funds, so this is a special opportunity for our team to gather, strategize and get sh*t done (GSD... a phrase our wise, late co-founder Kara used to always say). Folks always ask how they can support us, and this is a great opportunity. Want to help buy our team one of our working meals? Want to gift us some of your company's goodies so we're nourished and refreshed throughout the day? Or have some other way you’d like to support us? We're insanely grateful for any and all contributions. Reach out to mary@wobproject.com to coordinate. THANK YOU!
