For the second consecutive year, ArcBest has been designated a 2020 Women on Boards Winning “W” Company for 2017.
The organization 2020 Women on Boards recognizes companies that have 20 percent or more of their board seats held by women. ArcBest also was honored for 2016.
“I am pleased that ArcBest has again been recognized for its board diversity,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and CEO. “Our board is strengthened by its members’ different backgrounds, different experiences and different perspectives.”
The “W” designation is the highest awarded by 2020 Women on Boards, which is a nonprofit, grassroots campaign committed to increasing the percentage of women who serve on company boards to 20 percent or more by the year 2020. Of the 3,192 boards the organization evaluated in 2017, 1,151 boards achieved Winning Company status.
