Some of the country’s largest construction firms have made changes to their executive leadership and boards of directors in recent months.
These board and C-suite moves come at a time when industries and government officials are considering ways to expand the diversity of corporations’ top leadership. For instance, last month, California passed a law that requires publicly held corporations headquartered in the state to diversify their boards of directors with directors from “underrepresented communities” by the end of 2021. The legislation follows a 2018 law that requires publicly held corporations headquartered in California to include women on their boards.
