ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGC) announced today the launch of its Board Observer Program, aimed at fostering diversity in corporate governance by providing exposure to individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups.
The program, which is expected to run annually, will allow one or two new observers to participate each year for a twelve-month period. Dr. Kelly Richmond Pope has been named as the program's first participant. Through this initiative, SGC intends to contribute to the professional development of the participants and enhance their knowledge of corporate governance practices.
Michael Benstock, CEO and Chairman of the Board, emphasized the importance of diverse perspectives in decision-making and the current lack of diversity on U.S. public company boards. Todd Siegel, Chair of SGC's Corporate Governance, Nominating & Ethics Committee, expressed hope that the program would serve as a model for other companies to follow in leveling the playing field in boardrooms.
The company, founded in 1920, operates in various segments including Healthcare Apparel, Branded Products, and Contact Centers, aiming to provide extraordinary brand engagement experiences for customers and employees.
