-: As a board member of various organizations over the years,
I've seen a huge push in diversity
and that is particularly important.
And let me share three reasons why.
First, diversity is rooted in empathy,
in the human experience.
And that context is crucial for good decision making.
My second point is diversity needs to come from the top.
The push from the top is so important to ensure
that organizations become diverse.
Only diverse boards can ensure
that their organizations recruit a diverse workforce.
And my third point is that boards are responsible not only
for the D but also for the E and the I in DEI.
And with that, I mean that all voices on a board
need to be heard.
And for that, it is essential that boards are diverse.
