About Nancy Sheppard
I am passionate about helping to lead the movement to have more qualified women have a seat at the board table. I founded Women2Boards as a way to assist both corporate boards and women connect and improve gender diversity in the boardroom. I joined The Athena Alliance in 2017 as part of their leadership team to continue my mission. I advise women on the path to the boardroom, speak on the subject nationally and work with corporate boards that want to find talented individuals for their boardroom (who happen to be women). I have 30+years of management and governance experience in banking associations, the financial services industry, and legislative, regulatory & political environments. I was CEO of Western Independent Bankers, the largest regional banking association in the US, for over 20 years, served on two private company boards for financial institution products, created educational programs for directors and senior executives, and worked with hundreds of bank CEOs and board members.
