Taking Action on Board Diversity

Taking Action on Board Diversity: Five Questions to Get You Started – At the most fundamental level, who serves on a board impacts how it functions and the decisions it makes. While board composition is not one-size-fits all, a board that is homogeneous in any way risks having blind spots that negatively impact its ability to make the best decisions and plans for the organization. This article from BoardSource highlights the blind spots created by a lack of racial and ethnic diversity on boards and shares prompting questions to get the discussion about diversity started in your organization.
