SXSW 2025
Unlocking Boardrooms for Women & BIPOC Leaders
Description:
In 2021, the SEC enacted NASDAQ's Board Diversity Rule, requiring listed companies to report board diversity statistics or explain non-compliance. Progress has been slow due to low board turnover and extended searches for suitable talent. This panel will explore board dynamics to help women and BIPOC leaders identify opportunities and shape their board value propositions. Hear from experts on public, private, and non-profit boards, and gain practical insights to unlock the boardroom for women and BIPOC candidates.
