“Please, somebody correct me if I’m wrong. That is just a little over 10%.”

I want to answer Paul's initial question: Who choses these people? Their all-white Boards, that's who. Yes, we can use our power and influence; relationships; quiet and public conversations. But the truth of the matter is, if you wait until the CEO search has begun – you've waited too long. You need to diversify the hands that hold the power – e.g. the Board of Trustees. We have all sorts of excuses as to why Boards are not diverse – primarily money. We associate these choices with sustainability, and claim to give equal power to “advisory boards” and “community boards” – which tend to be diverse, in more ways than one.
