Research has linked women board directors with strong performance at Fortune 500 companies, yet women currently hold only 14.7% those seats. We re out to change that. Women on Boards is an annual panel discussion designed to educate and prepare women for board service. Having originated in Minneapolis in 2002, Women on Boards is now held annually in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, San Francisco and Atlanta. A panel of top-level executives with extensive board experience will share their knowledge and the necessary tools for serving as a director. Discussion will focus on being an effective board member, how to position oneself to serve on a board and how to transition from serving on non-profit boards to for profit boards. An interactive Q&A and reception will follow.

The first exhibition of its kind, The Dragon's Gift provides an exceptionally rare opportunity to view some of the most sacred and beloved Buddhist arts in Bhutan. Located east of Mount Everest and bordered by India and Tibet, Bhutan is a remote and mystical kingdom, considered by many as “The Last Shangri-La.” Many of the 150 objects – intricate paintings, sculptures, textiles, and more – are still used in temple and monastery rituals and never have been accessible to a Western audience. All are on public view for the first time. Also documented through video footage are the colorful ancient dance forms that are integral to Bhutanese Buddhist practice.
