Board Timber: New Initiative Seeks to Position Female Lawyers to be Corporate Directors

  • ""The reality is that we've hit a point where many large public companies have one or two women and one minority as directors," says John C. Coffee, Jr., director of the Center on Corporate Governance at Columbia University Law School in New York City. "I think a lot of CEOs define that as success. But it's really a quota. It means they've done something. But the country is 51 percent women.""

    "Looking at the bona fides of those in the first class out of the DirectWomen Board Institute, it might be said that any company not interested in one or more of them probably just isn't interested in women, period."

    "'Nobody wants a lawyer on the board till they get a good lawyer on the board,' [Lynn] Schenk says."
