This depends on the type of business and whether or not their are women actually working in the business. If they are, then yes, having female representation on boards is important.

No, nor should men be required on board of directors of businesses made by women. How you run your business should be your choice alone.

Only hire the most qualified candidates (this should include personality too - open mindedness). Aim to hire for diversity but do not discriminate and specifically hire based on sex etc

 @B3GFD4Manswered…3mos3MO

They should appoint who is most qualified. often now-days men are seen as more qualified which is what needs to change

No, but businesses should strongly consider it, and it would limit my desire to invest if an organization did not.
