Corporate Boards Will Get More Diverse In 2021 With Social Justice Jolt, New Regs, Covid Impact Deadline 12/30/2020
A bold proposal by the Nasdaq stock exchange early this month may give U.S. corporate boards the biggest nudge yet to seat diverse directors increasingly seen as key to both good business and social justice as investors across industries focus more on melding the two.
For decades, 57-year-old white men (on average), often without term limits presided over “male, pale and stale” boards. That’s been changing. Boards have slowly opened to women. A social justice awakening last summer promises more opportunity for minorities. And the global pandemic may have cracked the idea of boards wide open, forcing companies in entertainment and elsewhere to rethink businesses and seek directors with a diversity of age, thought and experience. Movement on boards will be a big thing to watch for in 2021.
S. Decker Anstrom will step down from the media giant s boardroom at the end of 2020.
BET founder Robert Johnson is joining the board of directors at Discovery, effective Jan. 1, 2021.
Johnson is also the founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies and comes to Discovery as it unveils an upcoming streaming platform, Discovery+, to launch on Jan. 4. Bob is a legendary entrepreneur and one of media’s true pioneers and innovators, dating back to his creation of BET and continuing throughout his distinguished career. As we embark on a transformative year for Discovery, we are honored to add Bob as an independent director, Robert Miron, chairman of Discovery s board of directors, said in a statement.
