The senior most person in my organization got up in front of the entire group and announced that he "wanted more people who look like me" in the organization and in senior leadership roles.
He was a black male. |

Date: July 19th, 2017 1:46 PM Author: Boyish Sexy Sweet Tailpipe Under the Norwegian law, public companies are required to comply with varying degrees of gender representation depending on the size of their boards. If, for example, the board has more than nine directors, both genders must constitute 40 percent of the total makeup, at a minimum. For smaller boards, the required level of representation can reach up to 50 percent. Noncompliant Norwegian firms face the possible sanction of court-ordered dissolution.
