  <title>E4 | 20 Years of Women on Boards Series: Julie Garland McLellan on Governance and the Evolution of Women in the Boardroom</title>
  <description>As part of the 20 Years of Women on Boards – Inspire | Influence | Impact vodcast series, WOB CEO and co-founder&amp;amp;nbsp;Claire Braund OAM&amp;amp;nbsp;speaks with governance expert&amp;amp;nbsp;Julie Garland McLellan&amp;amp;nbsp;about board careers, governance and the changing role of women in the boardroom over the past two decades.&amp;amp;nbsp; A non-executive director, educator, author and producer and narrator of the Directors Dilemma newsletter, Julie reflects on a career spanning more than 27 years across boards, governance education and consulting. She shares lessons from board turnarounds; governance failures and the increasing expectations placed on directors today.&amp;amp;nbsp; Julie also reflects on the early days of Women on Boards and the reaction when WOB first launched. At the time, she was serving on the council of the&amp;amp;nbsp;Australian Institute of Company Directors&amp;amp;nbsp;(AICD) and recalls the “consternation” surrounding an organisation focused specifically on supporting women into boards, particularly during debates around quotas and targets.&amp;amp;nbsp; She notes how much the governance landscape has changed since then. In the early days, governance events often had only a handful of women in attendance. Today, many are approaching gender parity -something Julie believes WOB has helped normalise over the past 20 years.&amp;amp;nbsp; The episode also explores the importance of continuous learning, strong networks and understanding the practical realities of being a director, with Julie encouraging aspiring directors to gain hands-on board experience and continue building their governance knowledge throughout their career. </description>
