Industry regulation improving gender diversity on ASX200 boards


Women on Boards welcomes the news that more than 20 per cent of director appointments to ASX200 companies in 2010 have been women.

Executive director, Claire Braund, says this contrasts sharply with 2009, when only five percent of appointments were women.

"This excellent result has seen the number of women on ASX200 company boards increase from 8.7 per cent at the end of 2009 to 9.2 per cent in June 2010."
