Lead change

Whether you're on multiple public boards or starting your nonprofit board journey, SDN is your advocate to help you excel in the boardroom.

If you are a Stanford-affiliated leader – whether an alum, faculty, staff member, program participant (DCI, SEP, Directors College, Executive Education, etc.), post-doc, or fellow – then you qualify for membership in Stanford Directors' Network.

We welcome all others, including our clients and members of our collaborating organizations, to join our mailing list as SDN Allies, rather than applying for membership.

Raise your profile

Stanford Directors' Network offers multiple ways to realize your board aspirations.

• Broadcast your qualifications through exclusive SDN networking events and access to board registries
• Enhance your boardroom savvy with an array of SDN curated educational opportunities
• Apply for board openings sourced by SDN from public and private companies and nonprofit organizations

Membership tenets

We expect all Stanford Directors' Network members to uphold our shared values:

• Contribution. Members believe that all organizations have the ability to change lives and change the world.
• Stewardship. Members want to act as stewards for such organizations.
• Commitment. Members prepare themselves and strive to be the best possible stewards of their organizations.
• Service. Members help other capable alumnae become outstanding directors.
