L.A. Times B2B Publishing presents the most diverse blic company boards ranked by the total diversity board members. Diverse board members include those who were self-identified as a woman or ethnic minority. Overall, more than 50 companies were reviewed and the top 25 are presented here. All companies had at least two diverse board members, which is consistent with board requirements for NASDAQ-listed companies and California’s Board Diversity Statute, which was struck down by a federal district court as unconstitutional in 2023, though appeals remain pending.

In order to qualify, companies must be headquartered in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino or Ventura counties. Additionally, companies were limited to those with a market capitalization greater than $2.5 billion, as of September 1, 2024.

B2B Publishing reviewed Securities and Exchange Commission’s annual reports and proxy filings, as well as company websites, to determine the percentage of diverse board members. Board composition may have changed subsequent to the filing of 2023 annual reports and proxy statements.
