Gold producer Resolute Mining has appointed Sabina Shugg as a non-executive director, while new data from the Australian Institute of Company Directors has revealed an uptick in female participation on ASX 200 boards.
New data out today shows female participation on ASX 200 boards has increased to 27.7 per cent in May, however five companies, including Perth-based Ausdrill, still have no female directors.
The Australian Institute of Company Directors is inviting Western Australia's directors and executives of small not-for-profit organisations to apply for a place in its new NFP Scholarship program.
Today's appointment by Independence Group of its first female board member has taken it off the list of ASX200 companies lacking female representation on their boards, although four other Western Australian businesses remain among those still to adopt gender diversity at board level.
