Research Methodology
LEAP conducted primary research between June and September of
2009. The primary research collection included a thorough
examination of all public resources, paid databases, existing
information, and interviews with companies to determine the total
number of directors and to identify board of directors of Asian and
Pacific Islander descent and the number of seats they held at Fortune
100 companies. To help ensure accuracy in the reporting of board member
race and ethnicity, LEAP utilized the US Census Bureau’s definitions:
- The Asian category as “a person having
origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia,
or the Indian subcontinent.”
- The Native Hawaiian or other Pacific
Islander category is defined as “a person having origins in any of the
original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.”
Extensive research was conducted to confirm
individual board members’ race, ethnicity and gender. Phone interviews
were conducted with companies’ investor relations, office of the CEO
and/or corporate communications departments for data confirmation.
For the purposes of this report, LEAP included Asian foreign nationals
and are marked with an asterisk in Table 4 listing APA directors on
Fortune 100 Boards.
