LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--C-Sweet, a rapidly growing national organization with a mission to foster executive level relationships for women across sectors in business and industry, announces a new virtual event -- Women on Boards-How to Land a State Board or Government Position -- set for Thursday, April 15th, 2021, at 12 pm PDT. This event will feature Cathryn Rivera-Hernandez, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Secretary of Appointments, for a highly engaging discussion on the Government appointment process. The session will discuss open commissions, board seats at the local and state level as well as whom aspirants can contact if they would like to be considered for an appointee position.
“We are so pleased be able to host the event with Cathryn Rivera-Hernandez discussing Women on Boards and the availability of government positions,” said Beth Hilbing, Sr. Program Manager and Principal IT Business Partner at Boeing, as well as Co-CEO of C-Sweet. “It is important to understand the opportunities available across the government landscape and how C-Sweet women can gain access to them. Women bring a great perspective with diversity in experiences, education, and the ability to deal effectively with risk and challenging issues.”
“Government boards are actively seeking to add diversity and minority candidates,” said Dianne Gubin, President of Amplify Professional Services Inc., an executive search and IT consulting firm, and Co-CEO of C-Sweet. “There are many state board positions which need to be filled. There are advantages to being on these boards, as it’s not just the work, it’s also the ability to build your network at a higher level to make an impact.”
