It seems to me that an all white board for the NAACP wouldn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense but having some diversity on a board may be more critical than you think. Without diversity boards lack differing perspectives, skill sets, and backgrounds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to speak the truth. To stop hiding behind \u2018code.\u2019 Seems to me it is time for us to take a close look at what we mean by diversity and why it matters.<\/p>\n

I hear it all the time. \u201cWe need to diversify our board.\u201d It\u2019s interesting how often people answer the question using some form of the word \u201cdiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n

I believe there are 4 primary obstacles to building a diverse board. In this episode, I explain what they are and I\u2019ll tell you exactly how you can overcome them.<\/p>\n
