welcome to the
WOMEN ON BOARDS PROJECT
We are working to increase the representation of women on successful, private, consumer company boards.
what we fight for
OUR WHY
We don’t have a supply problem… we have a demand problem.
Boards should reflect the consumers they serve.
We need to change the perception of what a strong board member looks like.
We need to eradicate the term “board-ready”.
Looking to fill a board role? Sponsor our work. Looking to explore a board opportunity? Join our community.
where we’re at
IN OUR INDUSTRY TODAY,
a majority of business decisions are made by men, and only 20% of company boards have women as directors.
However, women drive 70-80% of consumer purchasing.
Companies with at least one woman on the board had higher return on equity and higher net income growth than those that did not.
