network 2000, inc
founded in 1993 with the mission to promote the advancement of women in professional and executive positions.
Women on Boards
One of the critical missions of Network 2000 is to increase the number of women serving on corporate boards. Women make the majority of consumer decisions for themselves and their families. Over half of the workforce is women. Women open businesses at twice the rate of men. Research shows that a company whose corporate board reflects their customer and workforce base improves their bottom line.

How far have women progressed in the corporate governance arena, i.e., are more women being elected to the boards of publicly held companies in Maryland? When did you last hear corporate directors discuss the expectations and responsibilities they face in serving on a corporate board?
