Webinar: Recruiting and Onboarding for Diversity and Inclusion
This educational session is geared toward board members in the Hudson Valley and is sponsored by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan, the Dyson Foundation and the Hudson Valley Regional Advisory Council.
A diverse nonprofit board includes people of all genders, races, ages, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds and levels of ability.
Diversity ensures consideration of a variety of
perspectives and ultimately helps the board make more informed decisions. But diversifying your board comes with challenges – how do you find new board members outside of your immediate circle? How do you ensure your board will embrace and respect a wider range of opinions and perspectives? Preparing for and embracing a diversified board requires commitment, planning, and humility.
In this session, we will discuss how to identify, attract, and retain diverse volunteers for your board. We will also talk with a nonprofit leader who has successfully used our BoardStrong platform to grow and diversify the board of their organization.
