What is equitable board recruitment, and what are some first steps?
 
In this webinar, Christal M. Cherry and Renee Rubin Ross will explore six questions you can use to assess your current board recruitment strategies in terms of equity and open up a discussion on equitable board recruitment with board members. We’ll also share some strategies we recommend to build a culture of equity and belonging on boards.
 
Learning Objectives:
 
• Learn about equitable board recruitment and why it matters
• Assess how well your board is doing on equitable board recruitment
• Determine one or two next steps you might take with your board to create a board recruitment process that builds belonging and equity
