Why Your Board is Not Diverse and How to Recruit In Equitable Ways
According to research, board diversity continues to remain one of the toughest challenges nonprofit boards face. It is primarily because there is a difference between 'We welcome everyone' and 'We created this space with you in mind'. In their AFP LEAD session, they will dive into current board diversity trends, walk through a personal change model, provide a framework for leaders to create an inclusive mindset, and brainstorm board recruitment and retention strategies that advance equity.
We will watch a brief micro-learning webinar the previews Chrissey and Jonathan's LEAD session and hold a discussion about the topics raised.
Short Webinar Presented by Chrissey Ngyuen-Klockner and Jonathan Meagher-Zayas; Discussion Facilitated by Bree Muehlbauer, MPA, CFRE

Chrissey immediately dove deeper into learning more about fundraising and development and hasn’t looked back since. To date, she has raised over $18 million for causes nationwide. As a consultant and fundraising professional, she has grant and development programs for one of the largest youth development nonprofits in Texas, built and expanded individual giving programs in Texas, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., and has led nonprofit leadership teams across the nation through fundraising growth and strategic challenges.
