Posted on July 12, 2017July 18, 2023 by 30club-Malaysia

On 12 July, 2017, PwC hosted a lunch in collaboration with 30% Club Malaysia to launch a Board Mentoring Scheme for board-ready women in Malaysia. Pauline Ho, PwC Malaysia People Partner and 30% Club Steering Committee Member, did the welcome address and moderated a fireside chat with Datuk Zaiton Mohd Hassan, a seasoned board member of various companies and the Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysia Professional Accountancy Centre (MyPAC).

The 30% Club Malaysia pairs board-ready women with current board members in a new 9-month mentorship programme, and is aligned with the government’s target of increasing the number of women on Bursa Top 100 public-listed companies’ (PLC) boards to 30% by 2020. Mentors comprise Chairs, Board Directors, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and senior corporate leaders, while mentees are women in leadership positions looking to move into the boardroom.

The programme is an avenue to facilitate conversations between mentors and mentees, providing more opportunities for mentors and mentees to co-create development, and exposes mentees to a larger network as part of the ongoing journey to get more women on boards.
