Does Your Board Reflect Your Story and Your Audience?

Wednesday, August 25, 10:00 a.m. CT

Anjali Zutshi, Chief Development Officer, Texas Historical Commission, and Executive Director, Friends of the THC

When working on board development, nonprofit professionals sometimes face charges of “political correctness” on one hand and “tokenism” on the other. Given the current environment, it is even more important to make sure that our leadership—specifically our boards—reflect the people our organization is committed to serving. That can be easier said than done, particularly when an organization’s mission lends itself to differing points of view. Presenter Anjali Zutshi will offer  thoughts and ideas on what organizations need to be thinking of as they deal with board development and building appropriate representation within their leadership.
