Board composition is a stark indication of company excellence, governance, profitability and success. Quite often these days, customers, partners and employees look at a company’s board composition before they engage. Getting an appropriately balanced board is of prime importance.
The number of women on company boards (public or private) has been historically disproportionate. In the recent past improvements and retractions to these numbers and the rationale for having women on boards have occurred. However the number remains disproportionately low.
This event will focus on three areas:
- A brief look at the data, locally and nationally, on the share of board seats held by women
- What women bring to boards — in profitability, culture, and governance
- A practical, measurable community plan to inform board searches and strengthen board composition
We’re convening this in partnership with 50/50 Women on Boards, The Boston Club, Innovation Women, and Bentley University, along with male allies, so that the full range of stakeholders is at the table. Members of each organization have been invited to attend and take part.
