summary
Panel lays out concrete evidence and actions: tech firms with female directors show less than 10% female representation in infrastructure and those with more women produce about 6% more patents and 7% more citations, while female board members mitigate losses in crises. Community responses include funding — another 12 scholarships to HBCUs and Hispanic-serving institutions and an iMasons PhD scholarship — plus a speaker's bureau and a forthcoming best practice guide for inclusive hiring and pay‑equity remediation.
