What are the challenges of achieving true Board diversity? Are there better ways of achieving change on a Board? This TEDx, Board Diversity: a Seat at the Table, discusses the importance of having a diverse board, with the purpose of improving policies and procedures that lead to a successful board — thus competing with globalization. This talk focuses on ethnic, generational, and cultural dimensions of diversity; highlighting the many challenges — including resistance — which occurs when you try to achieve Board Diversity, while also weaving in a story on how you can create equity, by thinking outside the box. Waleska will share best practices for recruiting and retaining diverse board members.
