Public companies in Maryland have made few strides to include more women on their boards of directors in recent years, according to Executive Alliance’s 2022 Census Report. The organization, which releases a yearly report evaluating women’s representation on boards, said that women hold only 23% of the board seats across the state’s 72 publicly traded companies. This figure is only a slight increase from 22% last year and remains lower than the percentage of S&P 500 company board seats — 30% this year — that are held by women.
