Diversity in the boardroom encompasses all dimensions of the human experience, including education, life experience, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, geography, age and specific areas of knowledge and expertise. The market is driving more attention to the topic of diversity, equity and inclusion. Many institutional investors are sounding the bell not only for gender diversity but for racial diversity as well.
