Description
The interactive panel discussion will cover the growing cross-jurisdictional requirements (regulatory, stock exchange driven and market-based) to include greater representation of women on boards of directors, the drivers of these requirements and how boards can meet (and are meeting) these requirements. This will include a discussion of process integration and strategies to grow the number of women on boards, and the responsibilities of decision makers and influencers as they relate to this necessary evolution.
