Beyond Names & Numbers: Building a Diverse AND Inclusive Board of Directors
Diversity and inclusion are key components to a successful board. As demographics continue to shift, nonprofit and community boards must reflect and represent the needs and perspectives of the communities we serve. A diverse board enhances an organization’s ability to work with and be accountable to its constituency. It unlocks new perspectives and solutions to the issues our organizations address. It opens possibilities for new funding streams. It ensures the best possible organizational practices. But meaningful diversity is not possible without an inclusive board culture. Beyond Names and Numbers: Building a Diverse AND Inclusive Board is an 8-hour training for Executive Directors and Board Members focused on achieving a Board that is comprised of a diverse group of people AND fully values and includes those people in every aspect of Board work and organizational life.
