About the event What you will learn
Penny will explain why board diversity is key to effective decision making, better delivery of a charity’s services and the broader goal of creating a more equitable society. You will learn how nonprofits can successfully attract and retain diverse board members, while ensuring they can contribute fully to your organization.
Did you know that 62% of the top charities, by income, had all white boards while 92% of trustees are white, older, and above average income and education (Taken on Trust, Charity Commission 2017) Does this matter?
