Women Corporate Directors in the United States
Chapter
Abstract
Catalyst measures the number of women directors on the boards of major U.S. companies because we know that in business, what gets measured gets done. The Catalyst Census of Women Board Directors of the Fortune 500 was created in 1993 to encourage the leaders of Fortune 500 companies to increase the number of women serving on their boards. Since successful, large public companies are the standard against which businesses in the United States measures themselves, we also hoped to encourage smaller corporations to add women to their boards.
