Graziadio School Professor Makes the Case for More Women on Corporate Boards
Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management (Graziadio School) Professor Bernice Ledbetter wrote recently about the benefits and necessities of placing more women on corporate boards.
Addressing the need for shifts in corporate culture, Ledbetter refers to the “massive” discrepancy between the number of women in the workforce and those serving on boards. Of Fortune 500 company board seats, only 19 percent are held by women. During 2014, women held just 16 percent of S&P 500 company board seats.
