2020 Women on Boards Initiative with Kathleen Duffy and Sharon Lechter

On one day in cities across the United States and throughout the world, thousands of C-Suite and senior level executives will discuss and explore the benefits that gender diversity brings to corporate boardrooms.

The goal: to raise awareness and continue the momentum of today’s national and global brands committing to 20 percent or more of their board seats held by women.

Last year 2020 Women on Boards Initiative celebrated achievement of the 20% goal. The national organization continues its efforts to communicate with organizations and raise awareness about the importance of Gender Diversity on Boards.

Duffy Group CEO Kathleen Duffy and renowned author, keynote speaker, and business strategist Sharon Lechter had an engaging conversation with Karen Nowicki, owner of Phoenix Business RadioX, about the 2020 Women on Boards initiative and the need for board diversity. The campaign is dedicated to increasing the percentage of women on corporate boards by 2020. Kathleen and Sharon serve as Co-Chair and Chairman respectively for the Phoenix initiative.
