Did you know that investors need to disclose a group of emails addressing an issue to their board? Twice a month we urge companies with no women or one woman director to add more women to their board.
When you receive the email, click on the challenge to send a pre-drafted email to their investor relations team to make our voices heard.
Let’s collaborate on an event to educate corporate stakeholders on the business imperative of diverse boards and provide women with the tools and insights to advance as corporate boards of directors.
If you are an individual investor, find out how many women serve on the company boards where you own stock. If there are no women directors, send the CEO a letter to urge change. Remember to vote for shareholder resolutions on board diversity and for board slates that include women.
More than 80% of our funds foster our research, educational programs, and public awareness campaigns to accelerate gender balance and diversity on corporate boards. A partnership with 50/50WOB provides your company with increased visibility and engagement with influential networks.
Identify socially responsible companies that support gender balance and diversity. Review the gender composition of the board and senior management before applying.
Does your company (public or private) have three or more women on its board of directors? If not, find out why. If there is only one woman director, ask the CEO to consider appointing a second woman, and soon a third.
Commit to looking outside of your network to ensure your new hires and board candidates are diverse. To start, pursue your industry business and trade associations. Search business and trade media or LinkedIn articles to identify businesswomen acknowledged for their achievements or quoted for their business perspectives. For more hiring tips, visit our FAQs.
Joining or leading a campaign committee in your City/State is a great way to increase your visibility, build your network, and demonstrate your leadership skills while working on accelerating gender balance and diversity on corporate boards. To get involved email, info@5050wob.com.
