AboveBoard to Deliver Board Opportunities to Athena Alliance's Community and Learning Platform for Women Executives

AboveBoard is the fastest-growing resource for senior executives and is committed to expanding access to opportunities for underrepresented communities of executives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AboveBoard--an inclusive platform for executive hiring--recently announced a new partnership with Athena Alliance, the Executive Education as a Service platform for senior women executives. This partnership will grant Athena's members with pre-approved access to board opportunities.

"We are pleased to partner with Athena Alliance and bring board opportunities to their network," says Lucinda Duncalfe, founder and CEO at AboveBoard. "Executives should get hired based on what they know, not who they know. So, we are pleased to provide free, transparent access to these opportunities for the members of Athena Alliance."

Through the partnership, Athena will also deliver curated executive learning content that will be shared on AboveBoard. The learning content will be a hand-picked selection of Athena's most popular Salons, designed to help the AboveBoard community be more strategic and successful as they search for new opportunities and navigate career transitions.

"Today, we share board opportunities with our members which come to us directly from our powerful network of board directors and CEOs," said Coco Brown, founder and CEO of Athena Alliance. "Now, we're thrilled to work with AboveBoard to augment our existing efforts. This is a synergistic partnership, benefitting the executives of each community."

Athena members can join AboveBoard at https://www.aboveboard.com/athena-alliance. And, AboveBoard members will receive the opportunity to join Athena at a reduced membership rate.
