Reel Talk: Black Women on Boards

Black women bring unparalleled leadership, insight, and experience to the boardroom, yet they remain vastly underrepresented in corporate governance. We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive viewing of “Onboard: The Story of Black Women on Boards.” This award-winning film sheds light on the journeys, challenges, and triumphs of Black women who have broken barriers in the boardroom.  

Following the screening of this powerful documentary will be an engaging audience discussion with McKnight Foundation President & CEO, Tonya Allen and Gail Peterson, independent board director, former Chief Marketing Officer (EVP Global Marketing & Communications), and change agent. It will challenge, inspire, and equip you with insights to drive meaningful change through board service. We’ll continue the conversation during networking intervals designed to create connections between those looking to advance their board career and those looking to attract new talent to boards.  

Come join our community of engaged directors committed to advancing their board journeys, share your strategies, and contribute to dynamic discussion. Everyone is welcome—we look forward to you being in the room for this special film screening and “reel” talk.
