American women
earn about 60% of
the undergraduate
and master’s
degrees
Women are 57% of
the professional
workforce
Center for American Progress - March 2014:

the-womens-leadership-gap/
Females in the Workforce

• 14.6% of Executive Positions
Females in Leadership
And yet…
Although they hold almost 60
percent of all professional-level
jobs, American women lag
substantially behind men when
it comes to their representation
in leadership positions:
They are only 14.6 percent of
executive officers, 8.1 percent
of top earners, and 4.6 percent
of Fortune 500 CEOs. They hold
just 16.9 percent of Fortune 500
board seats.
Women
Men

Women make up
about 24% of all
positions in the
Science,
Technology,
Engineering, and
Math fields
Females in STEM
Women
Men

Women continue to be underrepresented in science,
technology, engineering, art design, and mathematics
(STEM) fields and in leadership positions.
About 60% Women in the Workforce… Yet Less than 15% in Leadership Positions
IF there are only 24% of Women in STEM…
Imagine what the percent of women are in STEM Leadership Positions?
?

How do you take your STEM talents from
the CLASSROOM to the BOARDROOM?
Classroom to the Boardroom
Do you think the journey to the boardroom is a process by default or by
design?
Having an interest in and studying STEM will get you a seat at the table.
But how do you get the seat at the head of the table??
(Hint: Leadership Skills)
We need to be proactive about developing leadership skills!
