ABOUT OUR PROGRAM: The issue of racial inequity continues to be at the forefront of our current national conversation. As nonprofit leaders we play a unique role in bridging societal divisions and brokering solutions, so it is essential that we are operating at our best, which requires boards to be diverse in their board compositions, inclusive in their board cultures, and equity-focused in how boards see the connection between equity and their work. In this session we will discuss the importance of this work to nonprofit missions, current national data on nonprofit board diversity, and key steps boards can take (regardless of where they are in their racial equity journeys) to become more impactful through a greater commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will also share links to tools and resources that boards may utilize for further advancement of their racial equity work.
