Treasurer Goldberg chairs the state's pension board, which manages a $66 billion fund and is a shareholder in approximately 9,000 companies. New proxy voting guidelines set by Goldberg mean that the the fund will vote against or withold its vote unless a company's board is comprised by at least 30% women and people of color. 1,690 companies did not meet this criteria.
