The research is clear.  Organizations with boards that have a diverse composition perform better than those that do not.  Yet, there is much work to be done to improve the representation of smart, talented and accomplished women on corporate boards in Canada.  AbsolutePeak is pleased to support initiatives designed to enhance the diversity of boards in Canada and beyond.
