Corporate Board Development

The Alliance for Board Diversity (ABD) is an initiative with Catalyst and the Hispanic Association for Corporate Responsibility to raise public awareness about issues related to corporate board diversity and to increase the number of women and minorities on corporate boards.  ABD supports The Council’s Corporate Board Development initiative sponsored by Altria Group.

Council members participating in the initiative also have the opportunity to attend the Kellogg School of Management’s Minority Director Development Program.

Board and Wealth Development Opportunities

The Marathon Club is an alliance with the National Association of Investment Companies and New America Alliance to support the growth of America’s emerging domestic markets and to recruit senior African American executives as board members for private equity firms.
