Travelzoo and Tina Brown Respond to News That Women Lose Ground on New Board Seats for First Time in 8 Years

Tina Brown said: “This report illustrates why it is really important that America shapes up its act, as they are not leading in this issue. The world is on the move. The world is changing. There is a great lot of improvement to be done in this area.”

Travelzoo’s chairman Ralph Bartel commented: “I am gender blind. It has always been my instinct to find the best person for the job—male or female. Being the only man on Travelzoo’s board has shown me what it means to be a minority.”

Travelzoo’s landmark achievement of 80% female board members was commemorated on Monday in New York at a women’s power lunch hosted by Tina Brown. The event was attended by female leaders in business, fashion and finance.
