Why Board Diversity Matters
For nonprofits to stay relevant with impactful missions, they must be led by a board of directors that is connected to the community, focused on strategy, and as diverse as the communities they serve. However, only 22% of nonprofit board members identify as people of color. The Chicago Nonprofit Board Match event is designed to support nonprofits in their goals of creating equitable programs and services throughout their organization by matching them with talented leaders from diverse backgrounds and interests. Individuals who identify as Black, LatinX, Women, and LGBTQ+ are encouraged to apply and to attend Chicago Nonprofit Board Match.
