Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This House resolution expresses support for increasing women's representation in corporate leadership, particularly on boards of directors and in senior management positions. The resolution points to research showing that women make up 56 percent of the U.S. labor force but hold only 30 percent of board positions at S&P 500 companies and just 6 percent of CEO roles, with even lower representation for women of color. According to studies cited in the resolution, companies with women in executive leadership roles perform better financially and benefit from having at least three women on boards to avoid tokenism and unlock these performance benefits. The resolution contains no funding or enforcement mechanisms—it is a non-binding statement urging U.S. corporations to voluntarily commit to expanding women's participation in senior leadership roles as a way to strengthen economic growth.
