Welcome to
THE LODIS FORUM
The Lodis Forum is a rare and transparent collective of like-minded women. All members are Chairs, Vice-Chairs, Lead Directors, or Committee Chairs.
Currently, there are no federal rulings that mandate firms have women on their boards. The assumption is that Women Board Chairs or Vice-Chairs are rare in firms, and this presents us, as a forum, with a unique opportunity of influence.
Women in Board Leadership Survey

Since private company boards are not required to report board diversity metrics, The Lodis Forum completed a survey to gather data on board diversity in privately held companies. The survey data is from 249 companies representing 1695 directors.
Expanding on the gender diversity study completed in 2021, the Lodis Forum launched a new survey to look at board compensation and gender diversity. The survey will be available in the fall of 2023.
About The Lodis Forum
We host quarterly forums where the agenda is geared towards curated topics that we, as a forum, assign and deem important. We welcome both opportunities and obstacles and promise a transparent and trusted environment for all to speak openly. We believe our collective voices will be uniquely suited to elevate a public conversation about Women on Company boards – and defiantly as Chairs, Vice-Chairs, Lead Directors, and Committee Chairs.
