CATALYST is about pivotal moments that shape business and the global economy. We tap into the expertise of Temple University’s Fox School of Business faculty and business community to dig deep into today’s most pressing questions, like: What is the future of work? Will the WTO stop working? Who is winning the global AI race? We decode topics from philosophical and practical standpoints so you, the workforce, can spark change in your field.

episode 18: Nonprofit Boards and the Path to Diversity
Research shows that young professionals and people of color are encountering barriers that prevent them from moving into a leadership role on a nonprofit organization’s board of directors.
In this episode of Catalyst, Shawn Edwards, a FOX DBA alumna, and Maureen Cannon, program director of Fox Board Fellows, discuss how a nonprofit organization can open pathways for building a leadership team that more closely reflects the community it serves. They also explore ways to overcome the “gap of intentional engagement” and become involved in an organization that aligns with a person’s goals.
