While the number of women in leadership roles in corporate Americais growing, women remain under-represented in civic spaces. According to a reportfrom the Women’s Fund of Greater Cincinnati, women comprise more than half the population in the area, yet they only occupy 30% of government-appointed board seats.
On Cincinnati Edition, we hear why gender representation is important beyond the c-suite and how more diverse boards can increase civic engagement and develop better governing practices in local government.
Guests:
- Denise Driehaus, Hamilton County commissioner
