Outstanding selected as one of 20 Summer Power Reads: Books for Business Women by In Your Shoes created by Johnston & Murphy

Outstanding now a recommended resource for Women in the Boardroom's 15 city tour highlighting women corporate directors and governance experts in panels across the country.

In her trailblazing book, Outstanding in Their Field: How Women Corporate Directors Succeed (Praeger: 2009), Elizabeth Peterson Ghaffari, CAS/BA '68, identifies the steps women can take to join the corporate board room. In the book, 15 female directors describe the various paths they followed to gain a seat at the table. Corporations are searching for qualified women to serve on their boards, Ghaffari highlights how to position yourself to be recruited."

"'Outstanding in Their Field', a new book by Elizabeth Ghaffari, CEO of Technology Place Inc., takes a look at how women get to the Boardroom. Elizabeth examined the women who have been appointed to corporate boards in California, interviewing several and giving us the lessons she learned from these outstanding executives. Whether their background was corporate, government or in the non-profit world, their hard work, courage, and ability to face challenges make them stand out in the crowd. As I read the book, I was extremely impressed with their achievements. Elizabeth has given us a roadmap to the Boardroom. Having highlighted corporate board appointments of women for several years now, I believe the road to the Boardroom should not be the one less travelled, but should be the one we pave with our experience, expertise and education."
