OBIO® WiHI Breakfast:
Board Governance: Fit, Focus and Everything in Between 

Join us on January 23 at our next OBIO® Women in Health Initiative (WiHI) breakfast on Board Governance, a practical and founder-focused session designed specifically for early-stage companies.

Effective boards can be a powerful catalyst for growth, when they are structured well and managed intentionally. In this interactive breakfast, we will share real-world insights and best practices on how founders can build, engage, and work productively with their boards.

This session will cover the following:

• How to effectively manage your board

• Considerations for finding the “best fit” for a board member 

• Preparation of board materials – the do’s and don’ts  

• Optimizing board time during meetings and how to efficiently work with board members 

• Managing board relations and keeping good ties  

• Finding the right independent board member

Whether you are forming your first board or refining an existing one, this session will equip you with practical tools to start 2026 with confidence and clarity in your boardroom.
