This is just a reminder that the Faculty Lounge mini-symposium on board diversity will be held next week. Regular Lounge readers know that we occasionally host mini-symposia on special topics here, such as the recent Taxing Eggs symposium. And next week’s topic will be board diversity.
Efforts to encourage greater corporate board diversity are now nearly universal. Though different jurisdictions employ different methods – from reporting to quotas to more informal public, market, or government pressure – the drive to diversify the boardroom is being felt around the world. But why?
The Faculty Lounge will host a special mini-symposium on corporate board diversity with guest experts in the field. What methods are different jurisdictions using to promote board diversity and with what effect? More importantly, what do board diversity advocates hope to achieve with these changes? Finally, what do our panel of experts believe will be the ultimate result of these efforts?
Join us in the Lounge next week as our panel of experts address these and other issues. Panelists include:
Wells Fargo Professor of Banking Law and Director of the Center for Banking and Finance
University of North Carolina, School of Law
William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of Law
University of North Carolina, School of Law
Associate Professor, with tenure, Osgoode Hall Law School; Visiting Professor of Law, Yale Law School, and Global Justice Senior Fellow, Yale MacMillan Center.
