Boosting Gender Diversity on Boards

July 31 & August 3, 2018

MIoD and the Women Corporate Directors Myanmar Chapter jointly organized an interactive workshop and a luncheon on the topic of women on boards and business leadership to promote gender diversity on boards. Participants discussed the gender gap in their organizations and learned tools and techniques to catalyze change.

“Myanmar companies can certainly benefit from having more women on boards, which have been proven to improve company financial performance and risk management,” said Ma Cherry Trivedi, Co-chair of the Women Corporate Directors Myanmar Chapter.

Numerous studies show that boards with both men and women are better at generating new ideas, verifying the integrity of audit information, and ensuring rule compliance to avoid conflicts of interest.
