Study: Female Execs More Common At Mass. Nonprofits
It's more common for women to hold chief executive positions and board seats at nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts than it is in the private sector, according to The Boston Club, which studies gender leadership and diversity.
In the largest 150 nonprofit organizations in the state, women hold 35 percent of the seats on the boards of directors, and 20 percent of the chief executives of those nonprofits are women, according to The Boston Club's 2013 Census of Women Directors and Chief Executives of Massachusetts' Largest Nonprofit Organizations.
In addition, the study found that 124 organizations have three or more women on their boards, and only one of the 150 has no women on its board.
The Boston Club released a study in late November which found that more than one-third of the top 100 public companies in Massachusetts have all-male boards. But that survey found that 30 of the 100 companies also had at least one woman among their most highly compensated directors, and that women made up 35 percent of the 40 new directors hired from June 2011 to June 2012, up from 19.5 percent and 12.8 percent in 2011 and 2010.
