PRNewswire 13-Nov-2018 8:00 AM
IRVINE, Calif., Nov.13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (NASDAQ:CAMP), a technology solutions pioneer transforming the global connected economy, has been recognized as a 2020 Women on Boards Winning "W" Company for 2018.
The award recognizes companies that champion board diversity with at least 20 percent of their board seats held by women. Kimberly Alexy, Amal Johnson and Roxanne Oulman hold positions on CalAmp's board and comprise 38 percent of its members. Oulman was recently appointed to the CalAmp Board of Directors and serves as a valued member on the company's audit committee.
"The continued 2020 Women on Boards recognition serves as exciting momentum for our team and I am proud to be a part of a company that celebrates diversity and inclusion," said Roxanne Oulman, Board Director at CalAmp and former chief financial officer at CallidusCloud. "While we do recognize there is more work to be done, we are excited about progressing in such a positive direction."
Founded in Boston in 2010, 2020 Women on Boards is a nonprofit campaign that aims to increase the percentage of women who serve on company boards to 20 percent or greater by the year 2020. The organization will hold National Conversation on Board Diversity events from November 14 to 16, 2018 in 25 cities across the U.S. and in London, Madrid and Mexico City to encourage dialogue on the importance of gender diversity and recognize organizations for achieving greater board diversity. Kimberly Alexy will speak on a panel at the San Diego National Conversation on Board Diversity event on behalf of CalAmp's board of directors on November 15.
"Nearly one-fourth of all public companies in the U.S. still have no women on their boards of directors. Yet, numerous studies have shown that having women directors on boards is a critical factor for improved corporate performance and profitability," said Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, CEO of Women On Boards 2020. "It only makes sense that we want to celebrate the companies that are not only embracing but encouraging female directors within their company. CalAmp is a welcome addition to our cause and we are thrilled to be recognizing them for a second time."
