For this inaugural episode we spoke with two members of Milwaukee Women inc (MWi) about their efforts towards equitable leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Milwaukee Women inc is an organization of professional women focused on changing the face and quality of leadership in the Wisconsin business community by increasing the number of women corporate directors. The group recently published their 2022 Research Report, \u201cCelebrating 20 Years of Advancing Inclusive Leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WILN Opinion+: Nancy Hernandez and Kim Stoll\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vsI7pS_l8Fk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report found that MWi\u2019s goal for women to fill 25 percent of director roles in Wisconsin was met early. 26.3 percent of director seats in Wisconsin\u2019s top 50 public companies are currently held by women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith all the data and the numbers clearly demonstrating the overall value that diversity, equity and inclusion brings, I think [it] really helped MWi achieve its goal of 25 percent by 2025,\u201d said Kim Stoll, Chair of MWi and Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing at Badger Meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statistics were much lower for women of color. In fact, only 5.7 percent of these roles are held by women of color, equating to 26 women. This number increased from last year\u2019s report, but still displays the disparities that exist for BIPOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOf those 26 only three are Latinas,\u201d explained Nancy Hernandez, MWi Steering Committee member and President of the Hispanic Collaborative.&nbsp; \u201cBut I think that we are seeing more women, Latinas especially, going through higher education, getting into different levels of managerial ranks and experiences and in the c-suite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Hernandez and Stoll remain optimistic that the continued efforts of MWi and other organizations, along with companies\u2019 desires to be more inclusive, will lead to a continual increase of women in leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are women out there. Boards and companies just have to make an intentional effort and cast, perhaps, a wider net to find those candidates,\u201d said Stoll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resources
