A guide to diversity, equity and inclusion

In the U.S. nonprofit sector, boards continue to remain overwhelmingly white and male.

In the absence of government-mandated quotas, U.S. nonprofits have voluntarily developed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) frameworks and practices, recognizing that a DEI strategy is vital to future-proofing an organization.

DEI measures are essential for board members to feel valued and respected in the workplace. This guide examines who still doesn’t have a seat at the table on volunteer boards in the United States, despite global change, and why it isn’t enough to tick a box. You’ll learn:

  • What DEI is and why it matters
  • DEI strategies for nonprofits
  • 6 steps to implementing a successful DEI strategy today
  • How technology can help your board and organization reach its DEI goals

Download the guide now to get the tools you need to enact meaningful DEI measures.
