Bank boards lack women

A new study by Corporate Women Directors International says that only 10.3 percent of board seats at the world's 50 largest banks are held by women. The report also notes that several of the largest global banks have no female directors.

...At the top 100 U.S. banks, women hold about 12.2 percent of board seats, according to the study. In comparison, the average percentage of women directors in the Fortune 500 companies is 13.7 percent, the study said.

Bah...who needs institutional power and representation anyway? (Ugh.)
