One way the mining industry could better support women in mining is to look for greater gender diversity on the boards of their joint ventures and partnerships. 26% of corporate directors in the S&P 500 are women...but only 6% of directors on mining JV Boards are women, based on Ankura Joint Venture and Partnership Practice research. #IDWIM #InternationalDayofWomeninMining #jointventures

Absolutely Joshua Kwicinski! Increasing gender diversity on the boards of joint ventures and partnerships is crucial in making everyone feel like they belong in mining. Your research on this is definitely needed at this time when the mining industry must bridge this gap and ensure more women have a seat at the table.
