Project Blueprint- a blueprint for increasing diversity in volunteer leadership.
Board leadership is at the center of nonprofit organizations. At the Volunteer Center we provide intentional leadership training with the goal of increasing diversity aimed to develop boards that are equitable and inclusive, responsive, and reflective of the culturally diverse communities served.
Our 8-week program provides tangible training on all aspects of board leadership. Our program also introduces the participants to our local nonprofits with the goal of networking and connecting for service with those organizations.
A recent report issued by BoardSource, "2021 Leading with Intent” shares that the board composition continues to be predominantly White/Caucasian/European with 87% of CEO’s, 83% of Board Chairs and 78% of board members (from 820 responders). There continues to be significant work to be done to change the table.
