With all the talk in recent years about diversity on nonprofit boards, you would think that nonprofits across the country might be prioritizing this issue, and by now we might see boards that are more representative of the populations they serve.

In fact, BoardSource’s Leading With Intent report shows that diversity has actually declined on nonprofit boards. But the way the research was done provides clear clues to what may be standing in the way of progress. Join us for this important discussion, and please let us know if you want to remain a part of the conversation moving forward.


In this exclusive webinar with Anne Wallestad, BoardSource’s CEO, and Vernetta Walker, BoardSource’s Chief Governance Officer and Vice President of Programs, with special guest Ramona Johnson, Senior Relationship Manager for the Southern Region with NeighborWorks America we’ll delve into what it looks like when a board resists diversity and how you can encourage change on your board.
