Project Details

Description

The aim of this project is to identify what the impact of public policies to increase women's representation on boards has been to the operations and effectiveness of regional development boards. Given the concerted efforts made at both federal and state levels to increase women's representation on key decision-making boards in regional locations, it is timely now to assess whether the benefits assumed to occur as a result of diversity have been achieved for these boards and their communities, and if not, why not? This information will be used to inform policy making concerning regional boards, and government boards more generally, at both federal and state levels.
