Read the entire The Boardroom Gap series
Over the course of three months, Worcester Business Journal conducted an examination of the gender makeup of the 1,527 senior executives and board members at 75 prominent Central Massachusetts business organizations. The study found while the overall number of women in Central Massachusetts business leadership positions may appear to achieve an acceptable threshold for gender diversity – 33 percent – the figure is skewed by a handful of organizations and the gender mix at for-profit firms is particularly low, especially in CEO positions.
Over the course of this three-part series, WBJ examined what the gender leadership gap means for Central Mass. companies, salaries and individuals, and how businesses and the entire region can achieve greater equity among men and women in leading economic positions.
