As part of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference, a four-day event held in September at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., this critically important dialogue will focus on the leadership crisis facing the nonprofit, African-American community.
At a time when the nonprofit sector is being looked to for assistance from poor and increasingly diverse communities, there is a lack of diversity at senior levels of the nation’s nonprofits. According to several nonprofit surveys, there is a lack of diversity at the leadership level of the nation’s nonprofit organizations and foundations. At the same time, the leadership pipeline is not showing sufficient levels of diversity.
Topics that will be covered include:
- Increasing leadership (employees and board) diversity in nonprofits.
- Strategies for recruiting and retaining diverse talent
- Actions nonprofits and foundations can take to demonstrate commitment to diversity
