We are pleased to share the 10th edition of “The Weight of America’s Boards,” JamesDruryPartners’ annual, independent governance study that evaluates the governance capacity of America’s largest public company boards. First published in 2011, the study was created to address a fundamental gap in corporate governance discourse. Though boards are routinely scrutinized, a rigorous, comparative framework for assessing how well-equipped boards are to govern did not exist prior to this study’s inception.
Each year, our study analyzes hundreds of public company boards, representing the 500 largest U.S. corporations by revenue and the 500 largest by market capitalization. In this year’s report, 654 boards and 6,264 board director seats were analyzed. Rather than focusing on board processes or compliance checklists, this year’s study examines what JamesDruryPartners views as the most consequential determinant of effective governance: the quality, depth, and relevance of business experience present in the boardroom.
