New Report Finds Little Change in Diversity on Corporate Boards

The Alliance for Board Diversity research shows white men still hold huge share of Fortune 100 board seats

The Alliance for Board Diversity today announced the findings of its recent study, Women and Minorities on Fortune 100 Boards, which showed little progress over two years in bringing diversity to the boardrooms of America’s leading corporations. According to the report, white men still held a disproportionate share of board director seats, although the study revealed small gains in the share of board seats held by minority women. It also noted that white men realized a net gain of 21 seats as compared with a net gain of three for all women and minority men.

Corporate Observer

If the first quarter is any indication, 2008 will be a banner year for HACR and its stakeholders. In addition to an increasing number of Corporate Members that have been added to the growing list of companies that share HACR’s mission to promote increased Hispanic inclusion throughout Corporate America, we are making progress with our Corporate Responsibility initiatives.

The excitement and momentum created by last year’s Symposium in Miami carries over into 2008. The 16th Annual HACR Symposium: The Power of Hispanic Inclusion takes place April 28–29, in New York at Le Parker Meridien Hotel. Much of the excitement centers on the HACR CEO Roundtable, which will be hosted by Time Warner Inc.’s Chairman Richard P. Parsons. Joining him in a thought-provoking discussion will be several of the nation’s renowned corporate leaders: Kenneth Burdick (CEO, UnitedHealthcare), Edward Rust, Jr. (Chairman & CEO, State Farm Insurance Companies), Peter Swinburn (President & CEO, Coors Brewing Company) and Joe Uva (CEO, Univision Communications Inc.)
