A recent article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy features insights from our President & CEO, Monika Kalra Varma. This article highlights successful board diversification efforts by a Silicon Valley funder that led to achieving their goals and further aligning with their purpose. Monika touches on this, saying, "You’re looking around the table and saying, ‘Do we have the right people here, or do we have people with the right authorized voice? When you have the right people sitting around a board table, you can make those decisions in a much more informed way that is aligned with why you exist.” https://lnkd.in/e_ijA6Gh
