## Resource

The pay gap for directors is narrowing—women now earn just $290 less than men in non-executive roles, down from nearly 6% last year, while board chairs see the gap shrink from 18% to 8%, with female chairs averaging $90K vs. $98K for men. This progress, tracked across 380+ organizations, is fueled by public sector gains (9% fee hikes) versus private sector dips (3% drop), reflecting gender diversity and economic pressures shaping compensation trends.
