Turns out there are more men named Dick (Richard, Rich, and Rick) on U.S. public corporate boards than entire groups of underrepresented people.
So few of everyone else.
There are 2x more men named Dick than Hispanic women. Black and Asian women barely outnumber men named Dick. There's 19x more men named Dick than women of Middle Eastern descent. And only 3 Native American women serving on these boards.
“We’re out to help change all that because boards with more gender diversity are 27% more likely to outperform less gender diverse boards. And boards with more people of color are 13% more likely to outperform less diverse boards.”
