STRUCTURES
For women* wishing to take their place around the board room table, the structures of an organization can be either enabling or inhibiting.
Within an organization, structural components can include:
- Constitution and by-laws
- Policies
- Operational procedures
- Programs and services
- Other political and administrative factors
Every aspect of the way things are done within an organization influence whether aspiring women leaders will feel at ease to become involved – or unwelcome.
