"Following my DiverseForce On Boards training, I was matched with a nonprofit board chaired by David Cohen, senior advisor at Comcast, who appointed me as a committee chair. Connections like these can break down dividing lines. Shortly after, I was named President and CEO of the African American Chamber of Commerce. You never know exactly what doors can open up when you sit within proximity to power."
"This experience reminded me that iron sharpens iron. It increased my leadership competencies, and social capital. Through DiverseForce’s opportunity matching, I found both a nonprofit board position to serve my community, AND my next career move to serve as executive director of Compass Pro Bono."

"When I first joined City Year, one of my immediate goals was to diversify its board. I started inviting CYP board chairs to DiverseForce events where they learned the importance of an inclusive board and creating a welcoming environment for diverse candidates. DiverseForce will continue to help us build our network and give us access that we didn’t have before."

The skills I’ve learned are impactful and transferable in both the private and public sector."
