A Seat at the Table

The A Seat at the Table report is central to EWNJ’s mission. Published biennially, it tracks and documents the progress of women attaining board seats and senior executive leadership positions in New Jersey while recognizing companies whose boards are composed of 35% or more women.

We’ve been releasing our biennial A Seat at the Table report since 2013, offering important information on the state of corporate gender diversity and inclusion in the state of New Jersey. Along with many other invaluable insights, our research has shown that, along with stronger financial performance, companies with more women on their boards have fewer governance-related issues such as bribery, corruption, shareholder battles, and fraud.

Incisive thought leadership

The 2025 A Seat at the Table report, themed “Sustaining the Momentum,” highlighted the progress achieved over the past two years and offered recommendations for building and maintaining diverse corporate boards. During the 2025 A Seat at the Table Corporate Gender Diversity Awards and Power Networking Breakfast, we celebrated these advancements while underscoring the importance of continued commitment and investment to sustain this progress. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and to everyone who joined us in honoring 24 New Jersey public companies for their dedication to closing the boardroom gender gap.
