Statutory gender quotas on corporate boards are effective and should be introduced in Ireland, the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) has said.
The national women’s membership organisation will launch a report later this month titled Increasing Gender Balance on Boards: The case for legislative gender quotas in Ireland.
The launch event on Thursday 24 June will hear from NWCI director Orla O’Connor; Dr Pauline Cullen; Anne O’Leary, CEO of Vodafone Ireland; Frances Fitzgerald MEP; Senator Fiona O’Loughlin, chairperson of the women’s parliamentary caucus; and Mark Fenton, CEO and founder of MASF Consulting.
Tickets for the free online launch event are available from Eventbrite.
