IRVINE, Calif., June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence
company that helps people and businesses work smarter, has been
recognized as a "3+" company by 50/50 Women on Boards™ for
having three or more women on its board of directors. Amal Johnson, Roxanne
Oulman and Kirsten Wolberg
hold positions on CalAmp's board and comprise one-third of its ten
members. Notably, Johnson was appointed Chair of the CalAmp Board
of Directors in August 2020 and
serves as a valued member of the company's advisory committee.
"It is an honor for CalAmp to be recognized by 50/50 Women on
Boards," said Amal Johnson, Chair of
CalAmp's Board of Directors. "While we recognize there is still
more work to be done, I am proud to be a part of a company that
celebrates diversity and inclusion. Being named a 3+ company serves
as exciting momentum for our team and we will continue to drive the
company toward more diversity and inclusion."
Founded in 2010, 50/50 Women on Boards is a nonprofit global
education and advocacy campaign driving the movement toward gender
balance and diversity on corporate boards. Reaching and exceeding
its initial goal of 20 percent women directors by 2020, the
organization's new campaign boldly calls for gender balance and
diversity on corporate boards of the Russell 3000 Index companies.
CalAmp has previously been honored as a 2020 Women on Boards
Winning "W" Company for meeting the initial goal set by 50/50 Women
on Boards.
"Women now hold a historic 23.7 percent of the Russell 3000
company board seats, but only six percent of corporations have
gender-balanced boards, despite numerous studies confirming women
directors on boards is a critical factor for improved corporate
performance and profitability," said Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, CEO
of 50/50 Women on Boards. "We are devoted to recognizing companies
like CalAmp that continue to work toward gender balance in the
boardroom and are pleased to be recognizing them for the third
time."
