We're long past having to defend or explain why women should be on boards, given all the data that shows how companies with female as well as male directors perform better. It's unfortunate when companies with a large percentage of women constituents don't reflect that in their boardrooms. ↗

I trained with the FBI in Portland and I also had many conversations with female FBI agents in Los Angeles, as well.

That was very good to know. ↗
