Women Missing From Boards
Women make up 41 percent of the board members of public bodies, compared with 16 percent in private companies. The figures come from the government's Nominations Service, a database of potential female board members for state entities such as Radio NZ, Television NZ, the Lotteries Commission and NZ Post. The Nominations Service is run by the Ministry of Women's Affairs and aims to deepen the board-member talent pool. Its goal is that women form 50 percent of statutory board members by 2010.
