Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that corporations should commit to utilizing the benefits of gender diversity in boards of directors and other senior management positions.
HRES 790 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' sense that U.S. corporations should commit to increasing gender diversity in boards of directors and senior management. It cites multiple studies showing that companies with greater gender diversity (including women of color) tend to have better financial performance, higher returns on investment, and stronger risk management. The resolution urges corporations to fully utilize women's talents in leadership roles, noting that women represent 56% of the workforce but only 30% of S&P 500 board members. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new legal requirements but highlights research linking diversity to corporate success.
