There is a difference between having authority and having influence.

Authority is given. Influence is earned, through trust, through accountability, and through the willingness to navigate trade-offs honestly even when the stakes are high.

Paul Russo, Group CEO of KCB Bank Group, joins us at the 13th Annual WOBN Conference to speak to exactly that distinction.

His session, Authority to Influence: Building Trust and Accountability while Navigating Power and Trade-offs, arrives on Day 2 of the conference and promises to be one of the most grounding conversations of the three days.
Because the leaders who last are not the most powerful ones in the room. They are the most trusted. 💜

Artificial intelligence is changing the questions boards must ask—and the responsibilities they must carry.

This year, we are pleased to welcome Grace Murugi to the 13th Annual Women on Boards Network Conference, where she will unpack the governance, regulatory, and ethical considerations shaping AI in today's boardrooms.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape organizations and industries, boards are increasingly called upon to navigate questions of oversight, accountability, risk, and responsible innovation. This session will explore the critical role of directors in ensuring that AI adoption aligns with sound governance and ethical leadership.

Sixty-three years of self-governance.

Sixty-three years of building, rebuilding, and refusing to stop believing in what this country can become.

Madaraka Day is a reminder that freedom is not just a moment in history, it is a responsibility we carry forward. In the institutions we lead. In the decisions we make. In the standards we hold ourselves to, even when no one is watching.

To every leader in this community who is doing that work, happy Madaraka Day.
From all of us at Women On Boards Network Kenya. 💜

Leadership without wellness is not sustainable leadership.
It is borrowed time.

We normalise exhaustion in governance spaces. We celebrate the leader who never stops, never rests, and never shows the cost of carrying it all. And we rarely talk about what that costs, until something forces the conversation.

Dr. Catherine Nyongesa, Clinical Oncology Specialist, is bringing that conversation to the 13th Annual WOBN Conference.

Her session, Wellness in Leadership, will sit at the heart of everything this year's theme asks of us. Because holistic leadership is not just about how we lead others. It is about how we sustain ourselves in the process.

This is the session that will stay with you long after Diani. 💜

Behind every title, every credential, every room a woman has worked hard to earn her place in, there is often a quieter conversation happening internally.

This June, the Hearthside Series creates space for that conversation.

Dr. Faith Wambura Ngunjiri joins us on 18th June for The Humble Realist™: A Conversation on Confidence, Self-Doubt, and Leading More Fully, an intimate, reflective dialogue on what leadership actually feels like from the inside, and what becomes possible when you lead from a place of honest self-awareness rather than performed certainty.

Legality sets the floor.
It does not set the standard.
The most consequential governance decisions are rarely made in the space between legal and illegal. They are made in the space between legal and right, and that space is far wider, far more complex, and far less discussed than most boardrooms are willing to admit.

Charles Kanjama SC, President of the Law Society of Kenya, is walking into that space at the 13th Annual WOBN Conference.

His session, Ethical Complexity: Closing the Gap Between What is Legal and What is Right — promises to be one of the most honest conversations on governance ethics we have had in this space.

Because the leaders who govern for legacy are not just the ones who stay within the law. They are the ones who hold themselves to something higher.

Thirteen years of convening the most important women in governance in Kenya.
One conference. Three days in Diani. And an audience that makes decisions.

The 13th Annual WOBN Conference brings together board members, directors, and senior executives for a conversation on Holistic Leadership: Navigating People and Power — and we are inviting organisations to be part of it.

Our partnership packages, Nuru, Shupavu, and Sayari, offer meaningful brand visibility, collaborative marketing, and direct access to a community that leads at the highest level.

This is not just a partnership. It is a positioning.

📅 29th – 31st July 2026
📍 Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort, Diani Beach

Speaker Reveal | Day 1 🌊
We open the 13th Annual WOBN Conference with a conversation that sits at the very heart of what this network was built to do.

Catherine Musakali, Chairperson, Women On Boards Network Kenya, takes the stage on Day 1 with a session on Developing Global Board Ready Leadership Pipelines.

Because the boardroom doesn't diversify by accident. It diversifies by design. And building the pipeline: deliberately, structurally, and with a global standard in mind, is some of the most important work in governance today.

Catherine has been at the centre of that work. And in Diani, she will share what it truly takes to build it well.
