Increasingly, nonprofit boards are recognizing the critical need to become more inclusive of diversity in order to meet the needs of the communities they serve and achieve their missions. In this two-part workshop, we will spend the first session gaining an understanding of the nonprofit context for diversity and inclusion at the macro level. During the first session, we will review key trends and statistics that illustrate the national nonprofit landscape relative to board diversity and inclusion. We will then bridge that understanding to the micro level to explore participants’ own organizations through the interactive examination of barriers to, strengths of and opportunities for diversity, inclusion and equity on their boards. Participants will be able to make a strong case for fostering a culture of inclusion and advancing social equity in their own organizations at the end of this session.
