Join Us! All Our Talent Legislative Summit
The competitive edge gained by companies when women and men lead together is undeniable. However, women represent 20% of board seats for the largest 3,000 companies in the United States. California is leading the nation in changing this statistic by implementing the first law requiring publicly held companies to put women on their board of directors. California boasts an economy of $3.2 trillion in gross state product, the largest in the United States with 53 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state. This legislation is a strong step toward gender parity.
Through collaboration with government officials, Mine The Gap is working with the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce to take this legislation one step further, through the All Our Talent: Women On Boards and Commissions Initiative, to foster positive change in gender diversity, equity, and representation in organizations throughout the San Diego Region, one of the most populated cities in the nation. This initiative will become a model for gender inclusion for cities across the nation. Part of this leading initiative involves engaging women at all levels, tapping into existing talent pools, to open up opportunities and create change for women and organizations.
Our Co-Founder Jessica N. Grounds will be moderating the All Our Talent Legislative Summit on September 23rd which will highlight women in policymaking roles who have been working on issues related to women’s advancement in the workplace. We invite you to join us for this interactive panel discussion, via Zoom, taking a deeper look into how legislation and policymakers have worked to highlight disparities and how women and men can work together to build more inclusive profitable and responsive businesses and organizations.
