Initiatives surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are currently under review for most organizations. In this session, you will gain insights from three panelists offering different perspectives on DEI considerations for not-for-profit board members, and what the role of the board is related to the furtherance of DEI initiatives. The goal of the session is also to engage in a conversation with the panelists, who will welcome questions and insights from the attendees.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to a not-for-profit that focuses on DEI efforts.
