Report No. GAO-19-637T
Summary:

Many organizations have recognized the importance of recruiting/retaining women and minorities in key positions to improve performance and better meet customer needs. Our prior work has found that the number of women and minorities on boards has increased, but that their representation still lagged behind that of other groups.

We testified about strategies to increase board diversity—such as making diversity a priority, enlarging the pipeline of potential candidates, and addressing the low rate of turnover on boards.
