Abstract: Law no. 2011-103, effective 27 January 2011, established a quota of 40% female board members for French companies. As a consequence, between 550 and 1350 seats are expected to be filled by 2017. This paper examines the nature of female candidates? legitimacy, or assets, for serving on French corporate boards, in an effort to develop a female board member profile for future candidates. The analysis of the profiles of the women serving on corporate boards during the 2003-2009 period in French companies (SBF120) reveals that 1) family and academic excellence are prevailing assets and 2) the increasing presence of foreign female board members, who comprise a valuable potential pool of board member candidates to meet the legal requirements.
