AI Summary
This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that corporations should actively seek to include women in their boards of directors and senior management positions. The resolution highlights research indicating that women constitute a significant portion of the workforce but are underrepresented in leadership roles, with women of color facing even greater disparities. It points to studies showing that companies with women on their boards and executive teams tend to perform better financially, are less indebted, and experience higher net income growth. The resolution suggests that having a critical mass of at least three women on a board can unlock these benefits and prevent tokenism, emphasizing that greater recognition is needed for the valuable contributions women directors make to corporate value and overall organizational performance.
