Building a board with a spectrum of voices to sing harmoniously is messy, imperfect, and beautiful. Adding new, different voices isn't about a checking a box: it's about building organizations that reflect the fullness of your community. This session will cover the nuts and bolts to building an inclusive board with the pitfalls and problems. Learn an accurate board assessment tool that doesn't look like a checklist. In real talk, we will discuss how challenging it is to embrace a diverse culture when everyone is learning how to do it simultaneously and how to hold ourselves accountable for leaning into the mess.
