Nonprofits have not made traction in racially or ethnically diversifying their boards. The market is filled with helpful guides on how to diversify the workplace. But few focus on nonprofit board diversification. Building a culturally diverse nonprofit board is an ongoing process. This practical guide is meant to fill these gaps. If done correctly, this effort can result in a more inclusive and effective organization.In Boost Your Nonprofit Board: A Diversification Guide, expert Ali Levin highlights the urgency of establishing diverse boards and helps the leadership of nonprofit organizations move away from the practice of fulfilling quotas and calling it a day. This guide begins with several chapters to educate and provide background on where we are today (Chapter 1: The Current State), the benefits and challenges of diversification (Chapter 2: The Benefits and Challenges), and the historical reasons behind the abysmal state of board diversity today (Chapter 3: The Role of History). Once readers have a solid grasp of the current state of affairs, the guide moves into the steps of how to get this done. Chapter 4: Foundational Steps outlines how to assess where your board stands today, and then outlines how to create an inclusive environment to set up your board diversity initiative for success. Chapter 5: Intermediate Steps provides recommendations to determine the composition and structure of your ideal board, steps to create a recruitment plan, and details for a positive new board member integration. Chapter 6: Advanced Steps approaches team dynamics and building trust with your diverse board. This guidebook provides the tools to successfully initiate and sustain board diversification efforts. Through practical and actionable steps, you will learn how to develop a board that's most effective for your organization. Levin's holistic approach considers community needs and strategic goals while aiming to make diversity an essential foundation of a nonprofit board. Boost Your Nonprofit Board: A Diversification Guide gives you everything you need to create a board that represents your community and the nonprofits of the future.

Vell Executive Search, a Boston-based executive search firm, has released its latest report. Titled "Women Board Members in Tech Companies: Strategies for Building High Performing Diverse Boards," the report offers an in-depth look at the topic and recommendations for creating greater diversity. "We studied 581 public technology companies in the U.S. and Canada with at least $100 million in revenues. What we found in many ways is encouraging: large public tech companies are embracing women on their boards," said Dora Vell, CEO of Vell Executive Search. "But there is still room for growth, especially in smaller companies." According to the report, 411 companies have at least one woman on their board, with 30% having none and 36% only one. Less than 12% have three or more women on their boards, the minimum number required to correlate with greater company performance. "The smaller the company, the fewer women board members," Vell said. "In companies with revenues of $100 million to $500 million, women hold 216 board seats out of a total of 1880. Nearly all companies with revenues over $5 billion have at least one woman board member." The latest Vell report looks at three key company factors: revenues, sectors and insiders. The report also looks at characteristics women directors possess that drive one or more board invites, board leadership roles and membership in the 20 largest companies. Ultimately, the Vell report concludes the tech industry must look at the entire ecosystem—not just the largest companies—to drive greater gender balance on boards. Closing the gap, Vell said, is no longer just a matter of breaking through a glass ceiling, but opening doors for women to gain experience in smaller companies. Vell offers strategic recommendations for overcoming the challenges and helping tech companies diversify their boards. These include drastically extending the succession planning timeline, training high potential executives internally with governance matters, and seeding the ecosystem by assisting smaller companies to identify outstanding diverse talent.
