About the Webinar

Much has been written and spoken about the importance of Board diversity in every sector. Reflecting on their own observations and experiences, the authors of this just-released report ask, provocatively, whether diversity is really making a difference in the NFP sector -- beyond the optics.

Incorporating insights from more than two dozen leaders in the sector – Board Chairs, Board members and CEOs – the webinar will present the report’s findings in thought-provoking and practical terms. This diverse group of Canadians shared with the report’s authors some of the challenges they have experienced, as well as their advice for making diversity work – through a deliberate strategy of inclusion.

What it will take for board diversity to truly have an impact?The elements of a successful strategy of inclusion.

Practical advice for board candidates, board chairs, CEOs and nominating committees - synthesized from the recommendations of some two dozen diverse not-for-profit leaders
