Casey’s recognized for notable achievement
with 40 percent female board representation
Today Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASY) is recognized
by the Women’s Forum of New York at its “Breakfast of Corporate
Champions” (BCC) event, for achieving at least 40 percent female
representation on their board of directors. Forty percent of
Casey’s board seats are held by women, and the third largest
convenience retailer is recognized as a leader for promoting
women’s leadership in the boardroom.
“Casey’s is committed to gender balance and diversity across our
entire organization. Having a diverse Board of Directors is one
example of this focus and we are honored to be recognized by the
Women’s Forum of New York,” said Darren Rebelez, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Casey’s.
This year, the Women’s Forum will salute the 233 companies, from
the S&P 500 and Fortune 1000, that have achieved 40 percent, or
more, female representation on their corporate boards. All
“Corporate Champion” honored companies, from 2011 to 2023, have
exceeded the national average of board seats held by women (source:
BoardEx, June 2021). The Women’s Forum recognizes the critical role
of Casey’s leadership in accelerating change to help make gender
equity a business priority, and for driving intent to action.
“Congratulations to Casey’s CEO and Board as a 2023 honoree at
the Women’s Forum of New York Breakfast of Corporate Champions for
having 40 percent women on their board exceeding the national
S&P 500 average of 33 percent,” said Janice Ellig, CEO of Ellig
Group, and founder and Chair of the Women’s Forum of New York’s
Breakfast of Corporate Champions. “Casey’s commitment to gender
diversity has been recognized for exceeding the national average
and will be making their fourth appearance at the biennial
Breakfast of Corporate Champions.”
The Women’s Forum “Corporate Board Initiative” reflects the
organization’s belief that change happens more quickly when it’s
driven from the top. The initiative focuses on company leadership,
including CEOs, Directors, and Nominating and Governing Chairs,
working to advance the appointment of women with the overarching
goal to achieve gender parity on corporate boards.
