New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed legislation requiring the New York State Department of State and the Department of Taxation and Finance to conduct a study on the number of women directors who serve on each board of directors of domestic and foreign companies authorized to do business in New York.
“From new pay equity laws to strongest-in-the-nation sexual harassment policies, New York is leading the fight for gender equality in the workplace, but our work won’t be done until women are better represented at the highest levels of organizations,” Cuomo said. “This new study will help shed light on the problem and guide the development of new policies to ensure more women have a seat at the proverbial table.”
