Good Governance – Advancing Racial Equity and Inclusion on Nonprofit Boards of Directors

The data is clear – racial diversity benefits our communities, organizations and businesses, and diversity is a key component of promoting effective nonprofit board governance and more effective nonprofits.

PLEASE COME TO THIS WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS OF BOARD GOVERNANCE AND RACIAL DIVERSITY, INCLUDING:

• What are the legal responsibilities of the nonprofit board of directors?
• What is the history of the nonprofit industrial complex that has contributed to and perpetuated systemic racism in the sector?
• What are best practices for building a racially diverse board?
• How do you advance meaningful change related to board diversity?
• How do you assess your organizational readiness to take on this work?
