Denver Post: "Women make up 24% of Colorado company boards, up from 7% a decade ago"

Thanks to the Denver Post article covering the foundation’s “Women on Colorado Boards: State of the State” study.

The article features Corporate Boardbound alumna Lisa Zuniga Ramirez’s journey to her first board and highlights that one-third of women board directors appointed to Colorado boards were Latinas, African American and Asian. This is a very needed improvement since women of color are so underrepresented in corporate boardrooms.

We are also excited Javier Rodriguez, CEO of DaVita, was interviewed for the article. Here’s an excerpt:

“What we strived to do very deliberately and very intentionally, was to make sure the boardroom represented the community and fell philosophically in line with how we view society and the world,” said DaVita CEO Javier Rodriguez.

Corporate Boardbound alumna Lisa Zuniga Ramirez was interviewed for this story.

Boardbound by Women’s Leadership Foundation has been tracking Colorado progress on gender diversity on boards since 2011. Here’s a snapshot of the various publications that have reported our results over time.
