It’s been 20 years since we first launched our Women’s Leadership Report, highlighting the status of women’s leadership among Michigan’s public companies.
In our inaugural report, women held a mere 9.6% of corporate board seats and just 7.1% of the top-five compensated officer positions. Today, these figures have grown, with women now occupying 26% of board seats and 18% of the highest-paid executive positions.
We’re seeing progress, but we know there is still so much work to do.
Read the full 2024 report, done in collaboration with the Wayne State’s Mike Ilitch School of Business, here: https://lnkd.in/gjDHRXAf#inforum#seewhatspossible#gettherefaster#womensleadership
Thank you Inforum. The data is compelling; both in terms of progress made and the opportunities we have infront of us. This report is a must read for every company. Let’s use this data to spark debate, celebration and importantly action.
Although there is still progress to be made, women’s representation on public company boards continues to grow.
Our 2024 Michigan Women’s Leadership Report, created in partnership with Wayne State University - Mike Ilitch School of Business, measures the progress of women in Michigan public companies and illustrates trends taking place nationally.
An October 2023 report from The Conference Board reported that 86% of S&P 500 corporate boards had three or more women directors, up from 47% in 2018.
Ten (91%) of Michigan’s 11 S&P 500 companies had three or more directors in 2023, up from four (36%) in 2018.

Did you know, the growth in women’s leadership has been gradual, with the most significant progress occurring in the last 15 years.
Overall, the following statistics indicate a positive trajectory for women in leadership positions in Australia. However, achieving equal representation in full-time management positions may take:
👉 Two decades for CEO roles.
👉 80 years for overall equality across all leadership positions
Are you ready to be part of the change?

I’m pleased to see that Yu-Lan Chan will be speaking on the topic of ‘How your quiet nature is your hidden leadership strength’ at the Public Sector Women In Leadership summit later in August. The summit will also feature three former female prime ministers - Julia Gillard, Theresa May and Helen Clark - so it’s very exciting to see the topic of Quietly Powerful leadership being addressed at such a prestigious event.
Yu-Lan Chan is the CEO of the Gaming and Racing Commission as well as an Executive Branch Manager for Access Canberra in the ACT Government. I had the pleasure of speaking to her earlier this year as part of the Quietly powerful interview series.
We explored how Yu-Lan effectively uses her quieter approach to leadership in roles that require juggling competing stakeholder interests, and where accessing a wide range of opinions is crucial.
In this short clip, Yu-Lan talks about the need for leaders who say they value diversity to exhibit that in the way they interact with each other and with their various stakeholders. As she points out, if achieving diversity and the best outcome for everybody is a core value for an organisation, then its leaders need to ensure they hear from a range of different perspectives and styles. This requires utilising a style of leadership that draws out quieter voices, rather than solely relying on people speaking up in meetings.
You can access the full interview in the Quietly Powerful LinkedIn Group Page at https://lnkd.in/gbg-qpF.
The Public Sector Women In Leadership Summit will be held in Canberra on 28-29 August. I’ll post a link in comments for those who would like to know more.

This morning's meeting was a testament to the passion and determination of the trailblazing women who have already joined our ranks; it was an absolute whirlwind of inspiration as we delved into shaping the agenda for our groundbreaking program, set to empower both current and aspiring board members. Being at the forefront of this initiative isn't just about creating an agenda; it's about catalyzing change, about propelling women and underrepresented groups into the very heart of decision-making.

We're crafting a platform where voices that have long been marginalized will be heard, where opportunities will be opened, and where the path to leadership will be paved for all.
Together, we're rewriting the narrative of corporate leadership, making it more equitable, more inclusive, and more representative of the diverse tapestry of talent that exists in our society.

Apparently people think about personal career development over holiday weekends, ie when they have time away from the day-to-day. (You know… like the time away from the day to day that the development retreat provides). This graphic is now dated with another seat spoken for. #careerdevelopment#leadership#middlemarket
We're throwing a HUGE handful of confetti to Steph, who had a full house for a recent speaking engagement! 🎉🎉🎉
Steph had the opportunity to speak at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Women & Leadership Symposium last month & it was, in her words, an "absolute blast!" 🥳
Resiliency has become a key leadership topic, especially over the last few years. 💪 Steph's session dug into how the women at the conference could master their resilience in the face of challenges.
(Fun fact about Steph: resilience is one of her favorite topics to present on. It's something that's needed in every industry & every role, no matter what you do! 🙌)
"It was so powerful to see a room full of amazing women connecting, learning together & taking action to become even more resilient," Steph says. 💖
We're always happy to talk resilience with groups, teams...you name it. If you're curious about this session or would like to learn more, DM us to chat! 😊
Tagging a few people we know that love this topic: Ruth Ovens, (Fiona) Ziying Yu, CPA, CIA, FCCA, Caitlynn Maloney.

Our new OWA Connects Blog, written by Holly Gough of VSP, discusses the importance of encouraging all women—regardless of their role—to lead by example.
She reminds us that leadership abilities exist within all of us, regardless of our job title or experience level. Whether you are a seasoned executive or just starting out, you have the power to lead by example and make a real impact on the women around you as well as the broader world.
