Webinar description:

Grounded in best practices and research on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), this session will identify various levers and strategies for effecting change. We will set the stage for the ongoing nature of the DEI journey, with an eye toward how boards can integrate DEI in their culture, processes and practices. Along the way, we will ask questions and engage the audience in conversations about:

■  What internal assumptions do we need to challenge?
■  What is the role of the board of directors in setting the tone at the top?
■  How do we identify guiding principles and priorities?
■  How do we center the voices of underrepresented communities?
