Perhaps making the “MEMBERSHIP” clause not say “the corporation has no members” is a good start at enlisting new passionate participants. Letting supporters know right off the bat they have a real stake would hopefully instill more confidence that their participation will actually be allowed to make a difference.
As one of the ‘baby-boomer’ leaders, I have learned one very important reality - if you want diversity, you must intentionally embrace, support and foster it. You must speak about it often, and you must acknowledge (and seek help) where you fail to meet the mark. Rosetta’s comments clearly communicate the excitement about the emerging leadership, and we all have opportunities in our organizations, through strong succession planning and insistence on cultural competency, to tap into this remarkable young talent and energy.
