Diversity on Board Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program 2024
Candidates who are nearly board-ready but require one more push are intended to benefit from the Emerging Board Leaders Fellowship, which is intended to enhance their abilities and quicken their advancement. We think that by providing these ecologically and socially conscious leaders with the tools necessary for successful directorship, we will put them in a position to further the agendas of inclusion, equity, and diversity within the communities and organizations they work with. Additionally, we support gender parity and work with the 30% Club to create a fellowship that is open to all genders rather than only focusing on one.
