Using rated responses from nonprofit CEOs who participated in the 2016 BoardSource national survey, this study investigates whether nonprofit board inclusive behavior or board inclusive practices are positively correlated with nonprofit board effectiveness. It further examines whether a critical mass of racial and ethnic minority or women board members may moderate the relationship stated above. To answer these questions, the study tested six hypotheses using principal component analysis, followed by hierarchical regression analysis, and found no evidence of statistical significance in main or moderator effects. The study recommends that policymakers should frame policies that ensure mandatory quotas for women and racioethnic minority board members for nonprofits that receive government funding and/or act as alternative service delivery agents for governments. In addition, the nonprofit CEOs should promote the learning-integration perspective of group inclusion to help maximize the experience of inclusion of board members. The study further recommends that nonprofit boards should promote pluralistic diversity, abandon tokenism, and foster an inclusive environment for all board members irrespective of their gender and color.

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.

Nonprofit governing board diversity recently gained attention from scholars, and the changing demographics of the United States' population create urgency around understanding how to diversify nonprofit boards. This study examined nonprofit board diversity in the largest majority-minority city in the United States -- Houston, Texas -- which was also declared the most diverse city in the country in the 2010 Census. GuideStar was used to identify nonprofit organizations in the Houston metropolitan area with annual revenue of $250,000+ and were contactable. 712 executive directors were surveyed electronically; there was a 26% response rate yielding responses from 185 nonprofit organizations. The survey was designed in three sections to study board composition, board processes and whether or not the executive director's perception of the governance model would influence the diversity ratio on an organization's board, and the analyses correspond with those three sections. The study found Houston's nonprofit boards are 9% more diverse than the national average and that Caucasians continue to be overrepresented in governing roles. Other composition findings were that the diversity ratio for board members under 35 years old is beginning to mirror the Houston population and that there was statistical significance between board members being 65 years+ and a lower diversity ratio on the board; however, there was no evidence that suggested nonprofit boards are more diverse in diverse communities. The study identified a gender gap in executive committee service, with a mode of one female serving on these committees despite that fact women make up 46% of all nonprofit board members. No relationship was found between diversity ratios and board procedures or the executive director's perception of the organization's governance model. Other findings were that Houston boards use executive committees at twice the rate of the national average, and that there is direct contradiction between the perceived value of diversity and what characteristics are considered important when recruiting board members. This study ruled out simple solutions for increasing board diversity through board procedures, and it identified areas for future research regarding governance models, the alignment of recruiting characteristics with board diversity and gender equality in leadership.

More Women on Boards: An International Perspective is the seventh volume in the Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice book series. The purpose of this volume is to explore the complexity of issues related to increasing the number of women on boards of directors around the world: how these issues have been understood; how they have been more and less successfully addressed in different countries and industries; and how they are similar, and yet different, as a results of cultural and legal differences. In the Introduction and 18 chapters included in this book, 42 researchers, activists, and practitioners who were raised or work today in at least 17 countries on 6 continents seek to answer the questions: “Why have women on boards?” “Why is adding women to boards so challenging?” “What actions increase the number of women on boards?” and “What can we learn from situations where there are women board members?” In seeking to answer these questions, the authors summarize previously existing research and share the results of their own recent qualitative and quantitative research studies conducted in many different countries. Both “fix the woman” and “fix the society” challenges and solutions are explored. Stories of women who have successfully joined and, in many cases, led boards of directors are shared. It is clear to us, and we believe will be clear to those who read this book, that there is no single program that will lead to gender equality on boards; however we believe that the authors in this volume provide a rich variety of research and well supported suggestions for addressing the challenges. When local cultures are considered and multiple suggestions implemented as appropriate, we are confident we will, together, increase the number of women on boards throughout the world.
