Event Description: Did you know companies with more women in executive leadership and board positions boast superior financial performance over their peers? Jan Babiak, professional corporate board member, will share with the benefits of gender diversity in business, as part of her keynote at RutherfordCABLE’s monthly breakfast meeting from 7:30-9 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11, at Stones River Country Club. Babiak will also provide examples of how women leaders with different backgrounds, experiences and aspirations, can all be more effective—beyond just networking and talking about it. In fact, every woman with a checkbook can effectively support the economy and other women by how they spend their money, and Babiak will explain just how to make that happen. Guests are welcome, and the public is invited to attend; the cost is $20 and includes breakfast. Reservations are available online at rutherfordcable.org and must be completed by Thursday, Aug. 6. According to Babiak, companies that embrace gender diversity are better governed, better managed, and have better long-term growth prospects; this is particularly true when there is a critical mass of three or more women on a board. Even though this clearly is a win-win proposition for both companies and their shareholders, a vast majority of U.S. companies have not yet integrated women at the board table, she continues. And to further confuse the issue, many of the companies who have not diversified their board tables even have women as their primary target audience and primary employment base.
