Oh, our boards.  In this time of BLM and the broader conversations around racial equity, it can be hard to know where to begin with your board.  Boards are often more conservative, wealthier and less diverse than our staff and clients so how do we get them on their DEI path?  In this really important conversation with DEI consultant Martha Haakmat, we talk about  1) How to get boards to understand the continuum of DEI development and what that looks like on a policy and practice level. 2) Creating a DEI culture on the board through norms and recruitment. 3) Creating a sense of shared responsibility for DEI across board and staff.
