Nice seeing "our Gregory" topping up his holding, by $2mil, in the recent placement.
He now holds 49,585,119 shares.

Agree Percy. Looks like a good strong addition to the board and I am sure our mate winner69 will be particularly pleased to see this from the announcement :
" Ellie is committed to promoting diversity, in particular gender diversity,
and is a member of Chief Executive Women, an Australian organisation focused
on increasing women's representation in senior leadership. Under her
leadership, Genworth received a citation as WGEA's 2015 Employer of Choice
for gender equality. "

There should be a Tiger on the board as well
So we have acquired two female directors in the last few months. I think that this is a good thing.
But have we managed to get rid of any of the men ?
Best Wishes

Its a start
Diversity goes beyond gender
Diversity of thinking is what it's about - ethnicity has a large part to play .....and that page in Maori doesn't cover for shortcomings
Just as important is a younger generation presence / mindset - pictures in Our People on the website don't give this a tick.

I don't understand the relevance / benefit of board members specific type of genetalia. Why is it good to have women on the board, specifically?

Because the differences between men and women go an awful lot deeper and wider than the differences in their genitalia.
Women think and feel differently, and experience the world in a way that is different from the way that men experience it. When men had all the social and economic power, made all the decisions, and controlled (or tried to control) almost every aspect of life, women's experience could safely be ignored. But over the last hundred or so years, women have gained increasing independence and now control their own lives to a degree that my grandmother would never have dreamed of. They control more than half of consumer spending, and form a huge and growing proportion of the workforce. Their influence in senior management continues to increase.
Even the "most able" women in senior management and governance have different perspectives from the men around them, and since they are "more like" nearly half the workforce, more than half the consumers, and an increasing proportion of the senior management than the men around them, their perspective and approach is essential.
And don't get me started on the importance of ethnic and cultural diversity!
