The Leverage Network’s purpose is twofold:

1. To ‘ready’ members for board opportunities across all sectors of the healthcare industry; and
2. To influence the board selection process and increase healthcare organizations’ board diversity

Membership demonstrates the importance of board diversity and supports the business case for improved organizational performance. Membership also supports the human case, that by ensuring board diversity that better represents customers, patients and populations served we can impact health disparities and inequities especially in communities and populations of color.

• Exclusive Board Development Sessions:
  Board Development Sessions provide networking opportunities for TLN members to engage and enhance their knowledge and skills and to meet Corporate global and national leaders. TLN members will stay abreast of key trends and issues within the healthcare sector as well as requirements for future board opportunities.
• Healthcare Board Initiative (HcBI) Cohort:
  The HcBI addresses the strategic mission of TLN by preparing a cohort of active members for board opportunities, positioning them to enhance their visibility and access within the industry and working in partnership to help promote them for viable board opportunities.
• Executive Women of Color Summit:
  The EWOC Summit is an annual professional leadership and Board Governance conference designed to increase the representation of African American/Black women on Boards and to enhance their leadership journey.  The Summit brings together some of the most dynamic, influential and successful women in healthcare and corporate America to share candid, authentic conversations and lessons learned with our guests.
