The Women Joining Public Boards report shows the numbers, rate and profiles of women appointed to public boards with a focus on diversity and analysis of the industry sectors where women are participating on boards. This first report covers October 2020 as this is the first time the comprehensive data for women joining boards of public companies has been compiled and analyzed.
Women in the Boardroom
WBC provides an issue on the importance of gender parity in the boardroom.
2020 Women on Boards (2020WOB), released its annual 2019 Gender Diversity Index (GDI) showing that while women corporate directors hold a record 20.4% board seats nationally for the first time, 311 companies in the Russell 3000 Index still have no women on their boards.

LCDA’s research showcases significant gaps in states with sizable Latino populations (Texas, Florida, and California) and across industries such as technology, materials, and aerospace and defense.
