“More women are joining Fortune 500 boards than ever before”:
Women are ascending to the real seat of corporate power — the Fortune 500 boardroom — at a record rate.
Last year, of the 462 newly appointed Fortune 500 board members, 183 of them — or 40% — were women, according to a new report from executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles. That's more than double the rate from a decade ago and the highest on record.
