Black Women on Boards

Black women are being left out of U.S. corporate governance, and America’s companies are missing out as a result.


This report’s purpose is to document trends in Black women’s representation on corporate boards in Michigan and nationally. Although increased visibility has resulted in some progress, there is more that can and should be done.
