There's been progress for women on Fortune 500 boards! In 2022, over 30% of board seats were held by women, up from 26.5% in 2020. While there's still a way to go for equal representation, it's encouraging to see the increase. Latinas are gaining ground too, but still hold a smaller percentage of seats at 5.4% in 2023. #diversity #LatinaLeaders #womanleadership #diversitymatters #boardroomgoals #BuildYourLegacy #transforminglegacies *Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance
