The award honors companies that have at least 20 percent of their board seats held by women. At CoreCivic, women hold 27 percent of the board seats. Donna M. Alvarado, Stacia Hylton and Anne L. Mariucci each hold seats on the 11-member board.

"We're honored to be named among companies that prioritize and celebrate diversity," said CoreCivic Board Member Donna Alvarado. "In the boardroom and at all levels of the company, it's so important to have a variety of perspectives represented, and to ensure those perspectives are heard. That's a key to success in any organization."

"At CoreCivic, we understand the value of diversity," said Lucibeth Mayberry, CoreCivic executive vice president of Real Estate. "We realize it makes us stronger and positions us for continued growth and improvement in all areas."
