Whole Foods, E*Trade Financial, and Morgan Stanley are just a few of the companies that have recently decided to separate the roles of CEO and chairman. Companies that aren’t keeping up with the fashionable act of separating CEO and chairman duties should take heed. http://currents.westlawbusiness.com/Articles/2010/01/20100120_0020.aspx NG: Board members should not have to worry that the Board chair is also their bosses!!!

The dearth of women on corporate boards is certainly not a "pipeline" issue - there are many qualified women. Rather it's about not being "known" and building a strategic network is the way to become visible. The other thing women can do is to leverage their power as investors. We should be paying attention to the amount of gender diversity (or lack of it) on the boards of the companies in which we invest. Take a look at www. proxydemocracy and www.moxy.com for ways you can make your voice heard on this critical issue. Nicki – I completely agree with you.
