With a vision for women to hold 50% of corporate board seats and women of color to hold 20% of all corporate board seats, we invest 84% of our funds in our educational programs and advocacy efforts to empower women to lead as board directors. Our research indicates that a board with diverse genders, races, ethnicities, thoughts, expertise, and experiences results in increased profitability, productivity, and workforce engagement.
At 50/50 Women on Boards, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to advance in their careers. Whether it’s advancing to a new position or attaining a corporate board seat, you can make your mark. We are here to help you visualize and realize your unique skillsets and expertise.
