2008 CWDI REPORT: IMPACT OF WOMEN CEOS ON WOMEN’S ACCESS
TO CORPORATE BOARD SEATS & THE C-SUITE |
 |
“These findings answer the question of
whether it matters if a woman is in charge,” states CWDI Chair
Irene Natividad (left). “Clearly women CEOs are far more
likely to bring in other women to corporate leadership roles.
It is unfortunate, however, that there are so few of them in
both the US and Canada,” she adds. |
