The nation's first institute dedicated solely to preparing minorities and women as leaders in board governance has launched in Atlanta, Georgia. The Herndon Directors Institute launches bold new program to address inequities in board governance.
Atlanta, Georgia Feb 12, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Johnetta Cole, Dean of the Herndon Directors Institute announced the selection of Fellows from the Herndon Directors Institute to be displayed on the Nasdaq Jumbotron in Times Square. She said, "We are honored and pleased to partner with Nasdaq and other leading organizations to launching our Board-readiness learning with such accomplished corporate leaders as the Fellows in our inaugural class. Their presence on the Jumbotron in Times Square sends an undeniable message about the quest for equity through inclusion. It is the new face of 'Stakeholder Capitalism' as their contribution sets a benchmark for minority and women directors in corporate leadership that will change the landscape of governance".
The Herndon Directors Institute (HDI) was borne out of the need for institutional change that would broaden the participation of minorities and women as active members of boards of directors in both commercial and non-profit settings. HDI is a historic initiative that seeks to generate a cadre of diverse, corporate-ready thought leaders to engage their peers through meaningful contributions that will change the landscape of corporate governance. The Herndon Director's Institute is a program of The Herndon Foundation, in partnership with America's leading corporations and organizations proactively aligned to expand minority and women board member participation. Full tuition is waived for participants accepted for admission to the Herndon Directors Institute.
