Did you know that at least 40% of seats on company boards in Norway must be held by women? Corporations there are embracing women! In 1993, this number was at 3%. Sweden is number 2 with 21.3%, Britain is number 3 with 15.2% and then the U.S. is 4th with 14.8%. Most of us who sit on boards of companies or associations have had to fight our way up the ladder. With the mandate in Norway, companies actually recruit, train and put future professional and entrepreneurial women through the company culture to where they can eventually end up as CEO. Interesting isn’t it?
