2020 Vice Presidential prospects: on Corporations


Catherine Cortez Masto: Introduces bill to encourage diversity on corporate boards

Cortez Masto introduced the Diversity in Corporate Leadership Act of 2020 so that corporate boards reflect our nation's diversity. "For too long, corporate America has failed to make sure the voices of women and communities of color are represented in boardrooms, and the time for change is now," said Cortez Masto. "During Women's History Month, I'm proud to introduce legislation that will help level the playing field in executive suites by increasing transparency and promoting board diversity."
