Eye2Eye understands that educational, detailed research is critical to our movement. That is why we dedicate ourselves to not only conducting our own research but also collecting and analyzing other’s work as well.

More importantly, statistics like these show that companies with predominately female boards tend to outperform their industry competitors.
To combat the problem Eye2Eye has decided to begin doing it’s own research, right here at BU. We will present our findings at our upcoming conference
