Why Board Diversity is Important
In 2019, United Way published a report titled More Like Us that summarized survey results on the state of nonprofit board diversity in central Ohio. The findings indicated that local nonprofit boards are less diverse than Franklin County across various demographics. As our community becomes increasingly diverse, it is critical that our local nonprofit boards reflect this diversity to include many backgrounds, perspectives and approaches.
