Celebration Kick-Off and Founder's Reception
summary
Describes a concrete California law that forces change: SB 826 mandates publicly headquartered California companies with five or fewer directors to have at least one woman and boards of six or more to have three women by 2021, with fines set at the missing director’s annual pay until compliance and public naming. Presents parallel policy fights to expand paid family leave (proposals to cut access thresholds from 50 to 5 employees and offer three months job‑protected leave plus three months for a designated caregiver) and gives company examples like Patagonia’s on‑site childcare.
