Board diversity is obviously about more than just race and ethnicity. It is about gender, socioeconomic status, constituency, culture, geographic area of residence, professional skills, connections in community, etc. But for today's Chair Post, I am sharing some data on the racial diversity of non-profit boards. The chart below is from BoardSource's Leading with Intent study from 2017. In that study, nearly 1 in 5 chief executives reported that they were both dissatisfied with their board's racial or ethnic diversity and not prioritizing demographics in their board recruitment practices. The chart below, from that same study, reflects data from 1700 respondents of nonprofit organizations around the country that completed the survey including age, gender and race of their chief executive, board chair and board members.
