Only woman on the board...
SUZANNE HOPGOOD'S EXPERIENCE
"It is very hard to be the only woman on a board. I know, because I have been the only woman on all but one of eleven corporate (public and private) boards for the past 25 years. I know how difficult it is for men to understand the issues that women face every day, and men would be shocked if I pointed out every time their actions dismiss, ignore, and/or insult women. Many of my colleagues say they are adjusting their behavior as issues are pointed out to them." Read more here.
