Sheryl Sandberg has been named to the Facebook board of directors today, according to press release issued today from Facebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why should your next board member be a woman?<\/strong> The topic of women in the boardroom matters to women because the board wields the real power of a company. If you are missing women in a corporate boardroom, you are missing something obvious \u2013 companies with women on their boards have been proven to lead to a higher ROI. You\u2019re missing representation from the other 50% of the population \u2013 the women, powerful consumers and producers. This is especially painful in the case of Facebook, whose users consist of 58% women with 0% representation in the highest level of decision-making in a company.
\n
\nThere is still work to be done in bringing more women into the corporate boardroom, but this monumental change shows that change is happening.<\/strong> By highlighting the dearth of women in the boardroom, we are forcing corporations to consider changing. A company\u2019s boardroom diversity is not just for balance but makes smart business sense \u2013 companies with women on their boards enjoy a higher return on equity by over 53%, a higher return on sales by over 42%, and a higher return on invested capital by over 66%. Any company without at least one woman on their board is missing an obvious strategic advantage.<\/p>\n

Sheryl Sandberg will be the first woman on Facebook\u2019s board.<\/strong> Facebook\u2019s board members are Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreessen, Erskine Bowles, James Breyer, Donald Graham, Reed Hastings and Peter Thiel.<\/p>\n

Sheryl Sandberg currently serves on the boards of Disney, Women for Women International, the Center for Global Development and V-Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n
