50/50 Women on Boards

On this Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the 104th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. From the ballot box to the boardroom, we continue the work of the suffragists by striving for equal representation in leadership. At 50/50 Women on Boards, we are committed to a future where 50% of all board seats are held by women, ensuring a balanced and equitable impact on business and the economy. #WomensEqualityDay #5050WomenOnBoards #19thAmendment #EqualRepresentation #Leadership

Yesterday, 50/50 Women on Boards and I had the privilege of speaking at Google’s Women@PLV Boardroom Bound event, focusing on Preparing Women for Board Leadership. It was incredible to engage with talented and ambitious women, discussing the crucial importance of diversity in the boardroom and how they can leverage their expertise for board service. A big thank you to Christie Dang for hosting such a impactful event, to the producers, and to all participants who contributed their energy, questions, and insights to the conversation. If you were part of the discussion, whether in person or virtually, I'd love to hear from you! My only regret is we forgot to take a group photo because we were fully engrossed in the moment! 🤩 #BoardDiversity #WomenInLeadership #BoardroomBound #WomenAtGoogle #DiversityAndInclusion
