Improve board diversity

Diversity on nonprofit boards is vital. If you are interested in adding new voices to your organization’s board, we have a few resources to help your organization take meaningful steps toward inclusivity.

 

Benefiting from Diversity

Various backgrounds, experiences, skills, and connections add to the quality of the board, but it is equally important to maximize the value of each individual board member. Learn how to define board diversity, avoid tokenism, deal with dissent among board members, and more through this resource.

 

Board Diversity in Action Assessment

BoardSource believes that assessment is one of the most effective ways to move your board and board leaders to the next level of performance, and our Diversity in Action Assessment is no different.

The assessment helps your board determine if it is on the right path to becoming diverse and inclusive and provides you with an opportunity to educate your board members about the practices and policies that will move you forward in this area.

Members: $275 | Nonmembers: $345

Don’t forget – all BoardSource organizational members receive an assessment as part of their membership.
