?? Currently, women hold 30.2% of the total board seats of Russell 3000 companies and women of color make up only 7.7% according to the latest @50/50WomenOnBoards research report. But they have a plan to change those numbers! The 50 Women to Watch for Boards Campaign aims to directly increase the number of women and women of color on boards by providing a comprehensive resource for companies seeking to diversify their boards. If you are a female executive ready for your first public board seat nominate yourself or if you know someone in your network, invite her to self-nominate. Applications are now open!

Today, on Women’s Equal Pay Day, we recognize the persistent gender pay gap and its impact on women—especially women of color. Women working full-time, year-round earn just 83 cents for every dollar earned by men, and for Latinas, that gap is even wider. Equal pay is not just a women’s issue—it’s an economic necessity. We stand with HACR - Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility and others advocating for policies that ensure fair wages for all. Let’s keep pushing for pay equity. #EqualPayDay #WomenInBusiness #PayEquity #GenderPayGap #WBCFasterTogether
