The board matrix is a tool that many boards use to be intentional about the diversity of members needed to best achieve their mission. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah reflect on the purpose of a board matrix and how we can update this tool to better capture a fuller diversity of the humans tasked with moving forward our mission and movement. The complex topics in front of us require a range of perspectives, experiences, knowledges, and approaches. And the work doesn't stop at recruitment. We can use the board matrix to plan the kind of support each board member will need to contribute more fully to the collective work of the board as a whole.
