Research Release: Gender Parity and Racial Diversity on Civic Boards & Commissions in Missouri

Join United WE and the University of Missouri–St. Louis as we dive into our findings on women’s participation on civic boards and commissions in Missouri.

Across the nation, women are historically underrepresented on civic boards and commissions. This gender disparity is especially glaring on “power boards” that have enormous impacts on public policy and the allocation of financial resources. We hope you’ll join us as we discuss the results of this research and how we plan to use it to inform policymakers, elected leaders, advocacy groups, and potential members of boards and commissions.
