The 2016 Fortune 500 list (June 6, 2016) “includes just 21 companies with women at the helm -- compared to 24 last year and in 2014. Or, to look at it another way, women now hold a paltry 4.2% of CEO positions in America's 500 biggest companies." - fortune.com/ women-ceos-fortune-500
“Fortune reported in February 2014 that just over 4 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs at that time were minorities, a classification including African-Americans, Asians, and Latin-Americans.” - Huffington Post Please support the National Organization for Women: 1100 H Street NW, Suite 300/ Washington DC 20005/ 202-628-8669
