Forum of Executive Women’s Champion of
Diversity Award Honors Regional Public Companies With at Least 30
Percent Women on Their Boards of Directors
SLM Corporation (Nasdaq: SLM) — more commonly known as Sallie
Mae, the nation’s saving, planning, and paying for college company
— announced today that, for the second consecutive year, it has
received the Champion of Diversity award from The Forum of
Executive Women. The award recognizes public companies in the
Philadelphia region with 30 percent or more women on their boards
of directors.
According to “Women in Leadership 2017,” a report produced
annually by The Forum and the Philadelphia office of PwC, Sallie
Mae is one of 11 companies in the region to qualify for the
Champion of Diversity award. The recipients were identified through
research of companies listed in the Philadelphia Business Journal’s
rankings of the region’s top 100 public companies by 2016
revenue.
“It’s gratifying to be recognized once again for the diversity
of our Board, who share in and help guide our mission to make the
dream of higher education a reality,” said Raymond J. Quinlan,
chairman and CEO, Sallie Mae. “As an organization, we seek
diversity not only in identity but also in thought, opinion,
personality, and experience. We have those traits in abundance at
Sallie Mae, which helps us continue to innovate and best serve our
customers.”
The gender diversity on Sallie Mae’s Board has also been
recognized for three consecutive years by 2020 Women on Boards, a
national nonprofit organization working to increase the percentage
of women on corporate boards to 20 percent by the year 2020. In its
“2020 Gender Diversity Directory,” Sallie Mae is listed as a
“Winning (W) Company” for having at least 20 percent female
representation on its board. Of the 1,745 companies the
organization evaluated, only 40 percent earned “W”
designations.
