Boards Need to Think Differently and Be More Intentional About Board Diversity
In the fall of 2021, NACD, with Heidrick & Struggles and Sidley Austin, brought together nominating and governance committee chairs from Fortune 500 companies to reflect on the progress made over the past year on board diversity and to discuss the opportunities for improvement. During the meeting, they also had a conversation with leaders from Ascend Pinnacle, C200, the Executive Leadership Council, and Latino Corporate Directors Association. The group discussed taking a new approach to recruiting, being intentional about diversity and inclusion, and the current state of board diversity.
