More About the 2020 Women on Boards Organization
The 2020 Women on Boards concept was brought to life in 2010 with the goal of having women comprise more than 20% of all company board of director seats in the United States. The goal was achieved in 2019.
The organization is now changing its name to 50/50 Women on Boards with the goal to have women comprise more than 50% of all company board of director seats in the United States, a number more representative of the actual population. 50/50 Women on Boards has even expanded worldwide, with members from all populated continents. The worldwide mission is to achieve true gender equality.
The campaign redefines good corporate governance and gender diversity standards and creates a cultural importance for corporate action. Independent studies have shown that public companies with women on their boards out-perform boards with only men when it comes to profitability, productivity, and workforce engagement.
An interesting discovery is that for the first time in history, institutional investors with trillions in assets are holding back their support when a corporate board has no female directors.
Another revolutionary development is that, in 2018, California became the first (and to date only) state in the U.S. to pass a historic law requiring corporations to add specific numbers of women directors within three years.
Having women on boards, not only benefits the company but benefits society as a whole by promoting career advancement opportunities for women. It also fosters a healthy workplace culture with equal opportunities for women leaders.
