In Focus: How to Talk About Board Diversity

MFDF's next In Focus session welcomes Julie Zuraw, President & CEO of Invest Ahead.

Board diversity has a positive impact on financial performance.  Invest Ahead's 2024 meta-study of all of the peer-reviewed, academic research done around the world on the connection between board diversity and financial performance reveals that a majority of the studies show a positive connection.  

That's not enough to convince diversity skeptics, however. If you find yourself needing to make the case for board diversity, this event will help you know how to find common ground, make reality-based, business-focused arguments, and have productive conversations on this topic.  Pulling from the Invest Ahead Board Diversity Language Toolkit, Invest Ahead's CEO, Julie Zuraw, will provide fresh ways to have this important conversation.

 

This virtual discussion will take place on Zoom from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm (ET) on March 10, 2025. Please note that In Focus programs are not recorded. 

Invest Ahead is a non-partisan forum of more than 90 institutional investors (including some of the largest pension funds in the world), asset managers, private equity firms, U.S. State Treasurers, national and global corporations and professional services firms, advocacy groups, and individuals representing more than $8 trillion in assets under management who believe that highly competent and well-composed boards are essential to corporate performance and American competitiveness.
