Moving up: Increasing Asian American representation on corporate boards
In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Month, we highlight the diversity gap, particularly of Asian Americans, on boards and celebrate and share the experiences of two Asian American leaders on corporate boards.
Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) unfortunately often find themselves stuck in the middle at companies. Because AAPIs are more prevalent in the professional workforce, many mistakenly assume that Asian Americans are well-represented at leadership and board levels, when in fact, many remain at mid-level in their career progression.
