A Seat at the Table: Black and Latinx Women on Boards

3/31/20: A 2017 McKinsey report found companies with the most ethnically and culturally diverse boards worldwide were 43% more likely to report higher profits. While there has been momentum especially in the last 2 years for greater gender diversity, the rate of new Black and Latinx female corporate directors has not increased as quickly.

Join us for an interactive discussion on how to change the composition of corporate America on boards and move the needle on the inclusion of Black and Latinx women on corporate boards.
