Women Get On Board Marks Its 10th Anniversary at the TSX Market Close

The company is celebrating a decade of advancing women's representation on boards

TORONTO, CANADA, September 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Women Get On Board Inc. (WGOB) will close the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary.

Alliance Advisors will support the event as an event partner.

“Alliance Advisors is proud to celebrate this milestone and support WGOB’s mission to ensure boardrooms reflect the diversity and leadership that drive companies forward,” said Alyssa Barry, President of Alliance Advisors Investor Relations. “Today’s TSX celebration signals that the future of governance is inclusive, courageous, and stronger with women at the table.”

Celebrating 10 Years of Increasing Women’s Participation on Boards
Women Get On Board was founded in 2015 to support the next generation of women in corporate director roles. The company's mission is to connect, promote, and empower women to serve confidently and courageously on corporate boards. Over the past decade, WGOB has helped thousands of women improve their board knowledge, expand their networks, strengthen their resumes, prepare for interviews, and develop their leadership skills on boards.

“When I began serving as a corporate director, it was uncommon to see a woman at the boardroom table,” said Dr. Deborah Rosati, WGOB Founder & CEO. “That inequality motivated me to launch Women Get On Board in 2015. Today, we’re proud to celebrate 10 years of increasing women’s participation on boards.”

"On behalf of my colleagues at TSX Trust and TMX Group, we are honoured to help celebrate WGOB's 10th anniversary by hosting the market close at TMX's iconic market centre," said Lara Donaldson, President and CEO of TSX Trust Company. "WGOB's accomplishments have been impressive—ten years of promoting and empowering women directors, ten years of breaking down glass ceilings and defying inequality. Women represent over 60% of TSX Trust's board of directors, and a third of TMX Group's board. It's our unwavering goal and commitment to continue to strengthen women's presence and voice, and we are delighted to mark this milestone with WGOB."

Commemorative Pinning Ceremony and Reception
Following the TSX market close, the WGOB 10th Anniversary Celebration will conclude with a special commemorative pinning ceremony and a reception hosted by Silvia Montefiore, Canadian Managing Partner, Business Enablement and Operations (COO-Level) and Head of People at KPMG Canada.

"When women have a seat at the boardroom table, businesses gain more than diversity; they gain insights. Women bring unique perspectives that challenge assumptions, expand strategic thinking, broaden strategy, and drive stronger, more sustainable results," said Silvia Montefiore. "Throughout my career, I’ve seen how mentorship and community fuel women's professional growth. Women Get On Board (WGOB) has been a powerful catalyst for this growth, empowering women as they rise into leadership. Over the past decade, WGOB members have reshaped industries, uplifted communities, and inspired future generations through board service. I look forward to seeing the lasting impact these remarkable women will continue to make on business and society."
