After a decade of democracy in South Africa, a radical new agenda for transformation and change, and a liberal constitution that outlaws discrimination, gender empowerment is high on the agenda.

• What specific challenges do women have on boards?
• Are boards that have embraced diversity more effective?
• What strategies should women adopt to improve their representation on boards?
• What strategies should companies adopt to improve the representation of women on boards?
