At Champion Boards, our research is focused on what DOES work: Where and how women ARE getting on boards? What economic sectors? What geographic areas? What size boards? How are the women and the boards doing it? What are the qualifications of the women - their experience? their professional credentials?
See our acclaimed research on 19 years of Directors & Boards magazine data.
"A superb analysis. A quite thorough job of numbers crunching and trends
divining. ... my initial reading is that you have contributed an important
data compendium and accompanying analysis to the understanding of
recruitment trends for women board members. Well done."
James Kristie, Editor & Assoc. Publisher, Directors & Boards
Also, see our research on Los Angeles and Orange County Business Journal "top firms."
Champion Boards tracks the data and documents the real story about how many women are being added to boards, who are today's women in leadership, what are their true competencies and capabilities as directors, what are the trends we can believe and what are the reilable sources of objective information.
