Relationships matter. If you want to be on a board, you need to get yourself in the right circles. 92% of board seats are filled through networking. Traditionally, men have used social networks with great success as a means to acquire board seats.

This bias has led to the repeated selection of men for board seats and has, for the most part, been exclusionary for women.
