The Critical Need for Greater Diversity in Nonprofit Boards

Join DEIB Strategist, Neelam Chand, Founder and CEO of Shift SLC, for a Q&A discussion on the Critical Need for Greater Diversity in Nonprofit Boards.

A key topic for our upcoming meeting is the critical need for greater diversity on our nonprofit boards. Diverse boards are more effective, bringing a range of perspectives, lived experiences, and innovative ideas that help organizations better understand and serve their communities. Representation across race, gender, age, socioeconomic background, and professional expertise not only enhances decision-making but also builds trust with the populations we aim to support. As we continue to grow and evolve, intentionally fostering board diversity is not just a value—it’s a strategic imperative for long-term impact and relevance.
