NEW YORK (AP) — Despite
the recent shocks to corporate
America and the faltering econo
my, women continue to make
gains in reaching the upper eche
lons of Fortune 5(X) companies,
according to a survey released
Tuesday.
The number of female corpo
rate officers at Fortune 500 com
panies inched up 3.2 percentage
points over the past two years,
according the biannual survey by
Catalyst, a New York-based
women’s advocacy group.
“Historically, in down
economies, women tend to be hit
very hard. We have data showing
that this has not happened, which
is a surprise for many,” said
Sheila Wellington, president of
Catalyst.
Women now make up 15.7
percent of the top-ranking execu
tives at America’s largest compa
nies — or 2,140 of the 13,673
total —compared with 12.5 per
cent in 2000 and 8.7 percent in
1995 when Catalyst began keep
ing track.
“While the pace of change is
steady, it is also slow,”
Wellington said.
Women held 7.9 percent, or
191 of the 2,412 “corporate clout
titles,” which Catalyst defined as
chief executive, chairman, vice
chairman, president, chief oper
ating officer, senior executive
vice president and executive vice
president. That is an increase of
1.7 percentage points from the
6.2 percent in 1997.

increase from two women CEOs
