2003 Michigan Women’s Leadership Index
Women’s Leadership Forum

Based on an index rating, Compuware Corporation scored second overall among Michigan businesses when determining which companies are most likely to promote women to the top five company offices or appoint women to the board of directors.

The Michigan Women’s Leadership Index, a joint project of the Women’s Leadership Forum and the University of Michigan’s Center for the Development of Women, released these results in October after tallying the number of female directors and high-ranking officers at 100 of Michigan’s largest public companies. In the ranking, officer positions were given more weight than board seats in the survey.

Compuware received 22 of a possible 30 index points, second only to FNBH Bancorp, which received 24 points. Other business in the top 10 were Energy Conversion Devices, Flagstar Bancorp, Somanetics Corp., X-Rite Inc., Borders Group Inc., Herman Miller Inc., Pavillion Bancorp and Tower Automotive.

The index project is meant to assess and encourage companies to better utilize the talent pool of women.
