Board Leadership for Racial Equity: Making more than a statement

Board Leadership for Racial Equity: Making more than a statement

Join our ALF dialogue about how US corporate and non-profit boards can bring about real change on race.   How can the board be effective in setting the agenda for corporate diversity and supporting management in making progress on equity?  What actionable steps can you take, as a leader or board member, to drive change at the board level?

Learn and share about what board members are doing – what’s working, what’s challenging, what is being learned along the way, and what you can do to seize this unique moment in America’s history on race.
