But California is having the last laugh. Even as the mandates on women and people of color have become a flashpoint in the culture wars, companies across the country are embracing California’s boardroom diversity directives.

Only the boards that are incompetent. Putting someone on a board for other than skills/experience reasons is a recipe for messing up the company.
Corporations have a fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders.
Only hire the most competent people to be on the board.
I saw a TV ad the other night — well, we all know the directions ads have taken in all forms, print to video — but a white guy appeared to stumble in his home injuring his wife and two daughters. All three were taken to various doctors: women, women of color, people of color, saving the day. Of course. The only color these people know is green, as in jealousy.
HAHAHAHAHA! What a backwards fascist dog you are! I'll bet you like to torment small animals, don't you? (/AOC)
Why is the government running business? This is pure fascism.
In large corporate America the Boards of Directors are interlocking—many of the same people are on many boards.
So—the same Woke Pantheon Deity “counts” as “minority” even though they are on many boards.
(There are both legitimate and crooked reasons for this. The crooked reasons are the ex-politicians, relatives of current politicians, etc. The legit reasons include major suppliers, lenders and bona fide industry experts.)
This would be an easy lawsuit.
Every corporation should draft the same non-white person, Larry Elder.
Pure communism. Hopefully, this will result in more businesses leaving the state.
Can you say Zimbabwe, sure, I knew you could. I like the way you say, Zimbabwe.
Mr. Rogers would puke at today’s Kalifornia.
board members can draw straws to see who is going to self identify as black female
“Every corporation should draft the same non-white person, Larry Elder.”
In the 1980’s and 1990’s attorney, Democrat party power player, and friend of Bill Clinton Vernon Jordon was a favorite African American for corporate board seats. I recall reading an article that he served on over 30 corporate boards.
Unconstitutional
completely indefensible in court
That’s why they hate Trump he temporarily shattered their narrative in real world terms.
California needs to be reined in.
Sounds a little crazy to me. I’m a female and worked at very responsible managerial jobs when “girls” were never paid more than secretaries. It seriously hurt me and my kids, but I kept on keeping on. Never, as in NEVER, was I interested in “women’ lib.” I went to one Lib meeting in a very nice house in a pricey LA suburb where women b@tched about men. Those rotten guys. I said I liked men just fine but wanted to be paid what I was worth. Eyebrows went up except for two lesbian college professors who thought I said the only intelligent thing in the room.
For a couple of years, I did make six figures, but on a project that could not last.
I gave up on labels long ago and am happy in my old age with plenty of friends, and nearby daughter and son-in-law. Life is fun.
Is diversity on the BoD supposed to enhance the ROI to stockholders?
Hard to understand how adding a POC or female to meet a woke quota will automatically improve the business’ profit line.
States should not be permitted to “run” businesses. Seems like it’s time for many businesses to pack up an leave CA for some friendly State.
Wuff!
Affirmative Action hires are always so effective. Just look at Obama for instance and all the good he did as a US President.
Oh wait!
