About 50/50 Women on Boards
50/50 Women on Boards™ is the leading nonprofit global education & advocacy campaign committed to advancing gender balance and diversity on corporate boards. In 2010 we launched 2020 Women on Boards, now 50/50 Women on Boards, to educate, advocate and collaborate with corporations and action groups committed to advancing women to corporate boards. Reaching and exceeding our initial goal of 20% women directors by 2020, our new campaign boldly calls for women to hold 50% of all corporate board seats and women of color to hold at least 20% of corporate board seats. Our proprietary 50/50 Women on Boards Gender Diversity Index™ transparently tracks women's progress on Russell 3000 Index company boards. Quarterly and annually, we analyze the data and disseminate insights to encourage meaningful change across all levels of leadership. If you are a woman aspiring to serve on a board or board-ready, we offer interactive workshops with experienced corporate directors to give you the tools to pursue a corporate board seat. We invite all to participate in our public awareness campaigns and tentpole events, including our Global Conversation on Board Diversity™. If you are a corporation searching for ways to elevate your DE&I efforts for your employees, clients, or key stakeholders, we encourage you to get involved by partnering with our campaign or hosting a corporate board program for women in your network. More than 80% of our revenue funds our research, educational programs, and public awareness campaigns. Get involved: www.5050wob.com Have questions? Email: info@5050wob.com
