Triumphant Tribeca

Adding our story to the rich fabric of this cultural touchstone.

Congratulations and thanks to all who created, star in, and funded the new film, OnBoard, chronicling the rise of top talent in America’s boardrooms. That impressive group includes many BWOB members and allies, hence this homepage takeover.

Curated here is a collection of highlights from those who experienced the launch in extraordinary ways at the Tribeca Festival in June.

Highlights of an Unforgettable Night in Manhattan

From the private screening to the executive reception, there was much to celebrate on a perfect summer night. If you asked us to somehow sum it up in two minutes, we’d show you this highlights video.

Post-Screening Q&A with Film Creators

It’s the story behind the story that gives deeper meaning to any film project, and there was much to share about this passion project. We just wish we’d had more time to get to everyone’s questions!

Celebrating the First Black Woman to Serve on a Corporate Board

If it weren’t for her, there would be no such film to make, no such history to celebrate. Her name is Patricia Roberts Harris and she made history when joining the board of IBM in 1971. We stand on her shoulders, with deep pride and much gratitude.

Hello, Times Square 

We hear it’s incredible there on New Year’s Eve, perhaps similar to how happy we were to experience (on a perfect summer day) this 10-story message in celebration of the film launch while so many of our BWOB members where there in New York City.
