Diversity in the Boardroom Webcast

Why You Should Attend

Board diversity – and especially its absence – is an increasingly important governance issue, as evidence mounts (whether cause-and-effect or correlation) that companies with diverse boards often perform better. California and the European Union now have mandates for board diversity; Nasdaq has recently announced regulations that will take effect in the next year or two; and major securities holders like State Street Global Advisors are signaling that board diversity failures may lead them to a “withhold” proxy vote. Despite all of this progress, lack of boardroom diversity – whether due to bias or just inertia – persists widely. With terms like “cultural tone deafness” and “reputational risk” increasingly in the corporate governance lexicon, board members and the attorneys who advise them need to advance board diversity initiatives and have tools at the ready to make them a reality.
