FLORIDA CORPORATE BOARD DIVERSITY INITIATIVE
INCREASING WOMEN ON CORPORATE BOARDS





WHO WE ARE
We are four preeminent women’s leadership organizations, the International Women’s Forums in Florida, Women Executive Leadership Florida, the Florida Chapters of Women Corporate Directors and 50/50 Women on Boards, which have come together to work collaboratively to promote the inclusion of women on corporate boards in Florida and to monitor the status of women on these boards. Our research partner is the Sykes College of Business at the University of Tampa and our corporate sponsor in the Knight Foundation.
MISSION
Our mission is three-fold:
-
To increase the number of women on the boards of the Russell 3000 companies in Florida
-
To encourage all boards to become gender-balanced
-
To connect qualified female board candidates to open board opportunities.
TAKE ACTION
Florida women call on Florida public companies to:
-
Add 50 more women to their boards by the end of 2023 and 25, or half, should be women of color
-
Have at least three women on every board, and work towards gender balanced boards as quickly as possible
-
Double the number of gender-balanced boards for a total of 16 Florida public companies
-
Have no companies with zero women on their boards
RESEARCH
Florida companies on the Russell 3000 are in last place in terms of female representation on their boards.
