You must be kidding - are you? I guess your question is as sensible as asking why is it good to have men on the board, specifically? Must be some reason given that there are that many - oh right, its men picking others like them.
And this is the problem - nothing special about women, but in case you haven't noticed yet - there are differences (beyond the genitalia). Different approaches to problem solving, different key strengths. And this is the key - higher diversity on a company board makes the company more successful. Different view points help to better analyse and solve problems, rather than having everybody looking from the same angle and coming up with the same old remedies.

"Skin in the game" is the most attribute I look at first when I look at a company's directors.
The "owner's eye" means the business will be well directed.
ALF,EBO,GXH,HLG,MFT,FRE,MHI,RYM,SKL,TNR come to mind..
Diversity is important,but "skin in the game" comes first for me,and the directors of HBL have a lot of it on the line.
I look forward to the latest two directors buying shares in HBL.

Agree with Percy on this one. Nothing to motivate directors and management more than a decent amount of skin in the game. My view on the diversity thing is that first and foremost Directors must have vast experience and very high level's of business acumen and governance ability, diversity is a secondary consideration to that and appointments should be made based primarily on merit.

A headline about Heartland in the local throwaway Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook;
"Bank to ditch Ashburton's teller service."
The local stalwarts of CBS Canterbury whose deposits were used as ammunition to defend MARAC's dodgy lending are now to be cast aside.

Yes and at the same time improving digital products, and online deliveries of those products.In a rapidly changing banking industry HBL are at the forefront,driven by customer demand.
And yes CSB shareholders have certainly benefitted by having shares in NZ's only listed bank.

Overnight GDT auction sees a 'surprising' drop in prices
Whole Milk Powder down a whopping 7.7% - on top of a fall in auction just before Christmas
Will the correlation between dairy prices and HBL share price continue?
Maybe a few dairy farmers dialling in from the quad bike as they check on the herd today to instantly restructure their loans. Amazing thing this digit technology .......except if one wants to do a simple banking transaction on ones mobile device.

Funny thing about the correlation between dairy prices and HBL's share price.
Anyone following charts,volumes,market sentiment,Sharetrader noise levels,and the moon cycles, could convince themselves they have read the market correctly.
While those who know the fundamentals,ie HBL have an insignificant exposure to dairying, could be said to have been wrong in the short term,but correct in the long term.
I remain in the second group,happy in backing my own research.It really works.!
