This is what we need to move the needle. Lists and suggestions won't do it. Fortune 500 companies need to commit to making their next board appointment a woman. That would put us on the right track. There are plenty of candidates. Just scroll down NewsonWomen to read about almost 7ooo amazing women in business today! Thanks to BD for leading the way in 2013.
