Details:
BBLI’s revolutionary leadership training program aims to facilitate culture change & foster inclusive environments.
In a recent survey of nonprofit data, only 17% of nonprofit boards have Black members in comparison to 77% of the members being non-Hispanic White. The Black Boardroom Leadership Institute is designed to ensure that Orlando’s nonprofit leadership reflects the diversity of the community. The Institute’s Inclusive Leadership Track will train local nonprofits to ensure they create an atmosphere where minority leaders have a voice at the table, not just a seat on the roster.
The Black Boardroom Leadership Institute consists of two, six-month programs:
- the nonprofit track, for nonprofit organizations interested in creating an inclusive environment on their boards, and
- the leadership track for individual Black leaders who desire to serve authentically on a local board.
The nonprofit track will assess and train organizations in prioritizing diversity and inclusiveness in board member recruitment strategies, and guide culture change to create an ideal environment of inclusion of diverse voices.
The leadership track will offer curriculum and board training that positions leaders for success on a local nonprofit board of directors, creating a pipeline of leaders for organizations to identify and align skillsets with open board seats.
Eligibility Criteria
Must be an active 501c3 nonprofit organization located in the Orlando region.
