Women in the Boardroom - A Public Forum for Thought Leadership

Friday, February 20 07:00 AM PDT to 4:00 PM PDT

The Forum for Corporate Directors has gathered a distinguished panel to address the challenges to achieving gender parity on corporation boards including the following issues:

• What are some of the strategies and tactics utilized in other countries that could move the needle forward in the U.S.?

• Is the SEC a realistic partner in achieving more accountability from public companies they regulate?

• What roles can the NYSE and NASDAQ play in addressing the issue, and are they likely to step forward?

• What are the perspectives and roles of the gatekeepers to achieving better gender parity on public boards such as Chairs of Nomination/Governance Committees; executive search firms; directors; and institutional investors

• What are the sources of resistance in the US, which continues to lag behind other major markets?
