What is SB 826?

Exciting news for women in business and the commercial real estate industry. "SB 826, which went into effect January 1st, requires that all public companies have at least one female board member by the end of the year as a way to promote gender diversity in corporate governance." Not too surprisingly, "20% of California’s publicly traded real estate companies had no female board representation at the close of 2018." That will change as the deadline gets closer.
