Diversity, inclusion, and equity are increasingly at the forefront of conversations throughout our communities. As strategic leaders and as the decision-making body at the highest level, nonprofit boards have a responsibility to diversify their composition, create an inclusive culture, and be equity-focused in how they see their work (and the world.)  

Jim Taylor (VP of Leadership Innovation, BoardSource) will discuss the importance of DEI to our missions and current national data on nonprofit board diversity.   Taylor will provide critical steps that boards can take (regardless of where they are in their racial equity journeys) to become more impactful through a more significant commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Companies recognize the fundamental value of developing talent, advancing racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and finding innovative solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges. At the same time, nonprofits require highly effective boards to strategically and financially achieve their more significant potential. So here is the great opportunity: for business people to serve on nonprofit boards, including with a clear understanding of how they can have a meaningful impact. Our studies show the benefits of nonprofit board service to companies, employees, nonprofits, and communities, including advancing racial equity fundamental to success.  

Join Alice Korngold to learn how companies and nonprofits can grow value by advancing DEI and effective nonprofit board service.  Alice's organization has trained and matched over one thousand business executives to nonprofit boards worldwide, consulted hundreds of boards, and advised companies on ESG (environment, social, and governance). She speaks at global meetings, including the United Nations.
