Industry Studies Association's Webinar Series
"Racial Equity and Opportunity"
Webinar #1: Board of Directors Diversity
Coming up in less than a week! The first webinar in our Racial Equity and Opportunity series, Board of Directors Diversity, is on January 13, 2021, 12pm to 1:15pm EST. Click here to register.
Research suggests that corporate boards which incorporate and value perspectives from diverse participants gain meaningful insights that might otherwise be overlooked. A multiplicity of perspectives bringing knowledge on key stakeholder groups allows organizations to be more responsive to emerging market and workforce trends. According to the most recent report from ISS Analytics, Black people hold only 4.1% of board positions among Russell 3000 firms. In this session, speakers will discuss current initiatives (such as Nasdaq's new listing rules related to board diversity and disclosure) aimed at increasing the selection, participation and effectiveness of Black board members.
