The Top Companies Named for Women Executives

The National Association for Female Executives has cited Avon Products Inc. as having the best opportunities for women among Fortune 1,000 companies. The association, which issued a list of the top 25 companies for women executives, noted that more than half the cosmetics maker's board of directors are women and that women run nearly half its divisions.

To make the list, a Fortune 1,000 company must have at least two women on the board, a high proportion of women at all levels and a rising number of women in senior management.

Also in the top 10 were Scholastic Corp.; Liz Claiborne Inc.; Aetna Inc. and Washington Mutual Inc.; Prudential Financial Group; TIAA-CREF; Hewlett-Packard; The New York Times Co. and Wellpoint Health Networks Inc.
