50/50 Women on Boards™ is the leading global education and advocacy campaign driving the movement toward gender balance and diversity on corporate boards.
50/50 Women on Boards shares a mutual desire to ignite meaningful change across all corporate leadership levels and bring attention to the business imperative of diverse boards. In 2010, 2020 Women on Boards, now 50/50 Women on Boards™, was launched to educate, advocate, and collaborate with corporations and action groups committed to advancing women to corporate boards. Reaching and exceeding the initial goal of 20% women directors by 2020, their new campaign calls for gender balance and diversity on corporate boards of the Russell 3000 Index companies.
