How Wildly Successful Nonprofits Inspire and Deliver Results Join the Center for Ethics in Society on October 12th to welcome author Leah Kral to discuss her new book "Innovation for Social Change: How Wildly Successful Nonprofits Inspire and Deliver Results." We can thank philanthropy and nonprofits for breakthroughs like hospice care, public libraries, and the discovery of insulin to treat diabetes. Yet finding solutions to social problems and measuring impact are often very difficult. Good intentions don’t automatically translate to impact. Why do some nonprofits punch above their weight while others misfire?  Thursday, October 12, from 4:00PM- 5:00PM

The National Council of Nonprofits defines a Board’s responsibility being “to steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission.” Research from McKinsey, PWC, and others show that organizations that have diversity in their leadership are more likely to outperform their peers. Yet, it is more than just diversity of people that makes an organization perform at its best.  This session will explore how nonprofit boards can ignite the performance of their organizations by embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion for themselves and their organizations.
