FOR FIVE YEARS NOW, BLACK ENTERPRISE HAS been chronicling African Americans who serve on the boards of directors of America’s largest publicly traded corporations. This year we’ve expanded the universe of companies from the top 300 companies listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500 to the full S&P 500 to gain a more complete picture of corporate America’s performance when it to comes to diversity at the highest level. In fact, we have dedicated the next 19 pages to this examination.

So why should you or the average person care about the 292 blacks sitting on the boards of 303 companies? Or about the 197 companies who have boards without a single black director? The answer is simple: The decisions made in these boardrooms affect us all. Based on the guidance these directors provide to CEOs and senior management, the entire black community stands to gain—or lose.
