Here's what other members are saying:


"I can’t express how valuable the Women on Board Certification Program was through Michele Ashby’s LLC. I got so much out of the course with additional education, board preparedness, refresher on corporate financial statements, board governance and bylaws, terms and conditions, board compensation and structure, all while teaming online with an amazing group of peers. The affiliation between C-Sweet and Michele’s LLC Ambassador program made a career goal a reality."


Beth Hilbing

"The ACE Board Certification program provides a holistic personal and professional overview. You learn to articulate your value proposition, write your board resume, and highlight your board qualifications. You'll discover how to identify and find a paying corporate board position. You gain self-confidence in representing your value to a board, as well as a broader view of participation responsibilities. You'll complete the course with insights into board governance, responsibilities, and operations, as well as a high-level view into corporate finance to spot red flags. There was much I learned! While it may seem minor, one of my best take-aways was making sure that your board has D&O insurance... leading me to champion and put this critical piece in place for one of my new corporate board positions. We appreciate our partnership and highly recommend Michele Ashby and the ACE Board Certification program to our C-Sweet community!"

"I owe my success to C-Sweet. If I wouldn’t have joined the organization, I wouldn’t have learned about this opportunity."


Virginia Sanchez



"I’m happy to share that I’ve just passed the Corporate Directors International Certification Exam and can add the CDI.D designation next to my name. Thank you to C-Sweet's Beth Hilbing and Dianne Gubin and, of course, Michele Ashby for supporting the effort to get more women on boards... now to find a board!"
