Credit Union Boards of Directors: Board Size, Gender, Race, and Institutional Performance, 2012-2021
This report quantifies the current state and recent evolution of women’s and minority representation on credit union boards. It also explores the extent to which there are (or aren’t) links between women’s and minority representation and several key measures of member-centric and financial performance.
Purchase MaterialAmong the report's key findings are that minority and women’s representation on credit union boards of directors can contribute to greater lending inclusion and asset growth. Both these groups, however, remain underrepresented among directors across the industry.
National Credit Union Administration board member and call report data was analyzed in conducting the study.
