How wonderful it would feel to know the only reason you’re on the board is because you’re a woman and/or black.

For the right price, pretty dang spiffy!

Note to corporate boards: Call me! 😄

What made America great was people with the most potential rising to the top and achieving great things. We’ve seen what happens with Affirmative Action. Quotas lower outcomes.

What a novel idea I am sure it will work as good as affirmative action did

Uhmmm....let’s see that withstand a legal test? Ludicrous. Patronizing and insulting to boot.

Delaware incorporation costs $200 bucks.

It applies to domestic and foreign corporations. A Delaware corporation would be a foreign corporation and would be subject to this ridiculous rule if it has its principal office in Illinois.

Well, aren’t they discriminating against the rest of the victims? I mean, why are they not demanding there be at least one lesbian, one gay, one transgender, one bi-sexual, one gender-queer, one illegal alien, etc., etc.?

That is probably next.

Illinois clearly wants to decrease the number of entities with HQ in their state. This law will not attract one single extra HQ, but will cause some to look elsewhere. It will do nothing but cost IL jobs. This is AOC-Amazon redux.

Illinois. Becoming more irrelevant by the hour.

But the real tragedy is that the people who live there flee to civilized states, not realizing they were the problem in the first place.

Boeing already put Caroline Kennedy on their board a couple of years ago. Kinda shows you what kind of discernment they have.

So since they can expand boards to fit, they can just label the new seats “token.”

For the companies that stay.

Al Sharpton can’t sit on the board of EVERY company. Just give him a check and he’ll go away.
