		<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.
