People with disabilities bring a unique set of life-learned skills and perspectives that help boards make better decisions and have a positive impact on the communities they serve. However, they are rarely considered as potential board members for non-disability specific organization boards.

Join a panel of nonprofit leaders as they discuss how they successfully meet the challenges of recruiting from this diverse pool of potential board members.
