A New Era of Governance Leadership

Governance has changed. So have we.

For more than a decade, The Leverage Network’s Healthcare Board Initiative (HcBI) has prepared exceptional healthcare executives for board service. Today, HcBI enters its next chapter.

Introducing
The Beyond the Board Seat Dinner Series

Curated Conversations Preparing Leaders to Govern, Lead, and Influence

The Beyond the Board Seat Dinner Series brings together aspiring directors, newly appointed trustees, seasoned board members, CEOs, and governance leaders for candid conversation on the issues shaping healthcare’s boardrooms today.

Hosted in select cities across the country, these gatherings create a trusted environment to explore:

  • Corporate and healthcare governance
  • Board readiness and positioning
  • Boardroom influence
  • The realities of serving as a board director

Beyond the conversation, each dinner opens the door to authentic connection, mentorship, and strategic relationship building. Participants engage directly with accomplished leaders to sharpen their governance perspective, strengthen board effectiveness, and expand their influence.

Whether you’re preparing for your first board opportunity or already serving on multiple boards, the Beyond the Board Seat Dinner Series helps leaders govern with greater confidence, insight, and impact.

Complementing the dinner series is a new virtual learning experience, “Inside the Boardroom” designed to bring governance insights directly to executives nationwide.
