Diversity remains stagnant on Fortune 500 boards

The average minority growth rate on Fortune 500 boards has remained at 0.5% since 2004, according to a study from the Alliance for Board Diversity and Deloitte. “While we applaud the progress that businesses have made in increasing board diversity, we need to ensure representation is holistic and inclusive for all — not just for one segment of an underrepresented population,” said the Alliance for Board Diversity’s Linda Akutagawa.
