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 my 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.
