Mixing It Up On Nonprofit Boards: Diversify or Fail | Leading Companies for Good | Fast Company: "Diverse perspectives and heuristics can be engines of joy,' says Page. This is one of the primary reasons that I so enjoy training and placing business executives on nonprofit boards. Through nonprofit boards, people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives have the opportunity to come together to help drive towards a common mission for which they are passionate.
As board members, they also gain a deeper understanding about the issues that their organizations address--whether the issue is the availability of potable water in the world, poverty and hunger, or human rights. Board members have the chance of a lifetime to learn from people they might never have otherwise met, travel together to the nonprofits' sites, see the world through the eyes of others, and help nonprofits to find and implement solutions to address global challenges. The experience is often transformative."
