Early Career Toronto | Boards 101: Empowering Your Leadership Potential Through Governance | |
Serving on a board (non-profit, family, or corporate) provides opportunities to apply your experience, skills, and financial education in a new setting, develop your brand and expand your network. Participate in an interactive workshop and learn about the key roles and responsibilities of a board member through real-world examples and frameworks.
Bring your questions as you begin gathering the knowledge and confidence to prepare for that first step of joining a board. Following the discussion, share your thoughts with colleagues as you network over refreshments and appetizers.
For more information, please contact the Early Career Toronto Committee.

Rebecca Finley-Schidlowsky
Management Consultant at Finley & Associates, Board Director & Governance Committee Member, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra,
Rebecca specializes in governance, strategic planning, and leadership development. She has worked with dozens of Boards and senior management teams in the private, not-for-profit, and public sectors across Canada. Rebecca is particularly passionate about building high-performing teams by engaging Boards and their Committees in governance literacy development, strategic planning, capacity building, evaluations, and diversity initiatives. Over the past 8 years, Rebecca has had the privilege of working on several transformational projects in the performing arts (Alberta Ballet), post-secondary (University of Calgary – Faculty of Science; UCalgary Alumni), and most recently, immigrant serving sector (Immigrant Services Calgary). Rebecca was the Board Chair and Governance Committee Chair of Next Gen Men (NGM) for 4 years and built the organization’s governance structure from the ground up. Dedicated to growing governance literacy, Rebecca led NGM's Board Shadowing program that allowed individuals to shadow Board and Committee meetings. Next Gen Men is a national non-profit that engages boys and men in conversations around gender and equity to work towards building a future where boys and men experience less pain and cause less harm. A pro-feminist, Rebecca launched and co-ran a women’s mentorship circle called Connections for four years that was dedicated to developing capacity and skills while providing opportunities for networking and mentorship. Rebecca particularly loved helping other young women learn how to facilitate sessions and develop materials in a safe and welcoming environment. An accomplished speaker and facilitator, Rebecca has earned the reputation of being an effective and engaging facilitator. A natural teacher, Rebecca runs Governance workshops that have welcomed participants from Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, California, Spain, and New Zealand.
