Applying a gender lens to how you select, manage and run your organisation’s board is important to ensure that you recruit and fully benefit from having a gender diverse board.
Boards are committees that support governance and decision making in organisations. They have two main forms: boards of directors (which are formal, provide binding advice, and have fiduciary responsibilities) and advisory boards (which are informal groups selected by leadership that provide non-binding advice).
Both can be valuable, however, you may not have either. If that’s the case, consider how you can ensure that you get a diversity of thought from the individuals or groups of individuals you turn to for advice. These may be community leaders, personal mentors, etc.
We go one step further and explore gender within two aspects of a board: composition and recruitment. You may choose to read through both of them, or select the one/s most relevant to you.
