The WIE Suite
A membership community for women leaders and culture creators (we're hiring)
DEAR WOMEN WHO DO,
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: we are truly grateful for our community. You are the driving force behind everything we do, inspiring us each day to continue shaping The WIE Suite into the most valuable platform possible for working women today.
In this week's edition, we feature Kyle Leahy, CEO of Glossier, sharing her tips for success in the beauty industry, and Karen Kosiba Edwards offering her expert advice on joining a corporate board. And more importantly we offer gratitude strategies that ground us in all that we should be thankful for today even as we strive for greater success tomorrow.

Karen Kosiba Edwards on Joining a Corporate Board
Karen Edwards has 30 years of experience consulting with boards, CEOs, and government on a range of strategic matters. She draws on her experience serving as a public company director and as a C-level executive to help clients build diverse, high-performing leadership teams and boards of directors.
"Start by finding out what boards are looking for. Go online to a company's investor section - sometimes it says investment relations. Then look at SEC filings, the one you want to find is the proxy statement. It comes out once a year. This statement tells whether it's soliciting votes. Usually, you can see if they voted for new directors or if they revote every year. You'll also get mini-board bios which can give you some good signals about what's essential to include in your board bio."
