Strategic Approach to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) for NYC Nonprofit Boards
A free 3-part virtual training series for nonprofit executives and board members is based on NYC Service's 2018 report recommendations and aims to move away from a surface-level understanding of DEIA to focus on building a deepened and common framework that works to harness board support and action.
The NYC Good Governance Blueprint was developed by the NYC Nonprofit Board Development Coalition, led by NYC Service, a division of the Office of the Mayor. The coalition includes 22 organizations that make it their mission to support nonprofits across New York City. The NYC Good Governance Blueprint was originally published in April 2016 and updated in January 2018. In creating the NYC Good Governance Blueprint, the Coalition’s objective was to craft a resource for board and staff leadership that consolidates best practices, resources, and tools for governance. The goal of this publication is not to teach you everything you need to know, but to give you the resources to explore topics further.
