		<description><![CDATA[I think there is only one answer to this question:  getting women on boards is not a priority for most companies. This is the only reason that can account for such minimal movement in the number of female directors in the last 20 years. There are highly qualified women. There are women who have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My response to the question based on what I have seen is as follows. Most men don&#8217;t proactively think about, or focus on this issue. So they typically just reach out to other men they know or know of, when looking to recruit new board members. The chair of the board or the governance committee (ideally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The answer to this question is at the same time simple and yet complex. My simple answer as to why there are not more women on boards would be that a prejudice against women in the senior ranks of business persists despite efforts to raise awareness and motivate change. I found the quote of the [...]]]></description>
