WWB Board of Trustees

Women's World Banking is governed by a 20-member Board of Trustees, all of whom are recognized leaders in banking, finance, business, law, community organizing, or women's economic participation.

WWB's Board has fiduciary responsibility for the organization and is charged with approving WWB's policies, strategies and annual budgets. While the full Board meets annually, most Board members are active throughout the year in advisory, program development, and fundraising capacities. Officers of WWB's Board are the Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and President, who is the Chief Executive Officer of WWB and a member of the Board. The Board is also responsible for appointing WWB's President.

Nine of the 20 members of WWB's Board form the Executive Committee which meets quarterly, acting on behalf of the full Board to makes policy and strategy decisions and to review:

  • WWB strategy development and program delivery,
  • affiliate programs,
  • network expansion,
  • funding status and financial statements, and
  • WWB's organization, staffing and systems.

The Board's Finance Subcommittee meets quarterly. It manages the assets in WWB's Capital Fund and provides oversight of the budget and cash flow, accounting and auditing practices.

A number of WWB's past Board members remain involved as members of WWB's Advisory Committee.
