There are solid arguments in favour of ensuring that governance bodies in the public and nonprofit sectors reflect the rich diversity of our society. In some communities this may mean actively recruiting visible minorities; in others it may mean providing youth with opportunities to volunteer.
The aim of this toolkit is to present you with a description of a successful program model which connects qualified candidates from Aboriginal, visible minority and under-represented immigrant communities to the governance bodies of public agencies, boards and commissions and nonprofits. It does not deal with corporate positions.
