THE CRITERIA

MassTLC’s Board-Ready Bootcamp is designed to bring greater diversity to tech company boards of directors. In evaluating applications, MassTLC’s review committee will be guided by the following criteria:

1 – Applicant must be a current (or recent) senior executive at a technology company or tech division of a non-tech company;

2 – Applicant must be “sponsored” by, and have the support of, your CEO, board member or other executive sponsor;

3 – Applicant must be (or willing to be) a champion and advocate for increasing diversity on tech company boards, and be willing to participate fully to help MassTLC advance this important objective.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Participants must be current tech executives who’ve been nominated to attend the bootcamp and have the support of their company leadership.

1 – Complete application with information about you and your goals;

2 – Upload an endorsement letter from your executive sponsor (your CEO, board member or other executive sponsor);

3 – Accepted applicants must register and pay the admission fee* to hold a space in the bootcamp. 

*Accepted participants for which the fee is a barrier to participating may request a scholarship to reduce the financial burden.
