WECNY and Columbia Business School

 |

Women’s Executive Circle of New York (WECNY) has collaborated with Columbia Business School to help improve the standing of women in business leadership positions. Together, we have conducted a quantitative research study that evaluates the state of women in executive positions in the top 100 public companies headquartered in NY. This study, the second in a series of annual reports, 2009 New York Census: The State of Women Business Leaders In New York, will be made available to the NY business community and state and city legislators and policymakers.

WECNY's Top 25 |
| |
We looked at NY's 100 largest publicly traded companies and identified the Top 25 - companies with at least 20% women board directors and executive officers.
Our data reveals generally that although some progress has been made, women remain an untapped resource in NY boardrooms and executive suites. View our full study to see which companies made the Top 25 and how they distinguished themselves for diversifying corporate leadership. Click to view census.
