Recent research conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute, BoardSource, and others has breathed new life into the age old dilemma of increasing and realizing the fuller benefits of diverse leadership in our communities and boardrooms. Beyond the data and theory also remains the need to honestly assess the impact and challenges of transforming leadership through diversity and inclusion. Even with our rapidly changing demographics, old stereotypes and practices can impede the best of efforts.

How well is your organization leveraging your board members' perspectives and experiences? How well is it developing the leaders you truly need? Join this examination of aspirations, challenges, and lessons learned, followed by a candid discussion of what todays leaders must do to initiate, influence, and advance the governance and other leadership opportunities of tomorrow.
