Everi Recognized by 2020 Women on Boards for Having 20 Percent or More Corporate Board Seats Held By Women
June 05 2019 - 11:15AM
Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE: EVRI) (“Everi” or the “Company”), the
casino gaming industry’s single source provider of gaming products
and financial technology solutions, has been named a Winning ‘W’
Company by 2020 Women on Boards (“2020WOB”) for achieving at least
20 percent women on its board of directors before the year 2020.
Eileen Raney and Maureen Mullarkey have served on Everi’s board of
directors beginning in 2016 and 2018, respectively.
Winning ‘W’ Companies are cited in the 2020WOB annual Gender
Diversity Index, which tracks the numbers of corporate board seats
held by women among the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index
is comprised of the 3,000 largest U.S. traded stocks representing
approximately 98 percent of all U.S. incorporated equity
securities.
“We are proud 2020WOB is recognizing Everi’s commitment to board
diversity and thankful for the invaluable strategy and counsel
Eileen and Maureen provide our leadership team and board of
directors,” said Miles Kilburn, Board Chairman, at Everi. “We
encourage more companies to embrace diversity and inclusion and
continue to foster this culture not only at the board level, but at
the company level as well. Our Women’s Leadership Initiative was
put in place three years ago to do just that – to develop diverse
leaders throughout the organization and to create opportunities and
a path for advancement. Diverse talent and perspectives will enable
us to continue to successfully execute on our key strategic
initiatives to drive shareholder value, which must start at the
top.”
“We applaud Everi’s board of directors for engaging the diverse
opinions and perspectives of both genders on their board,” said
Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, CEO of 2020 Women on Boards. “Studies
have shown that the varied perspectives of women are uniquely
valuable to corporations and the challenges they face today and can
be key factors in profitability, productivity, and workforce
engagement.”
2020WOB is a nonprofit organization that monitors and publishes
how many women are on companies’ board of directors and ranks each
company from ‘W’ for ‘Winning’ with at least 20 percent to ‘Z’ for
Zero, meaning no women directors. Half the Russell 3000 companies
still have only one woman director or none.
The 2018 nationwide statistic was 17.7 percent, a gain of 469
board seats for women, which is an improvement over the previous
year at 16 percent. Of those, 295 were new seats created by
expanding the board, not seats previously held by men. In total for
2018, approximately 25,250 board seats existed among the Russell
3000 companies with only 4,477 held by women.
