Does Your Organization Have Enough Leaders of Color? Learn How to Overcome the Racial Leadership Gap.

Studies have shown that the percentage of people of color in nonprofit executive director/CEO roles has remained under 20% for the past 15 years.

You can take action now to understand the issue and systemic bias, and guide your nonprofit to build a more diverse management team.
