Inclusive design goes beyond products and services—it extends to leadership spaces like the boardroom. In this webinar, we will explore how boards and senior leadership can foster inclusivity in their operations, ensuring accessibility for persons with disabilities and creating a more equitable governance environment.  The session will cover practical steps boards can take to develop inclusive governance practices that inform organizational culture and enhance participation for all members. We will also discuss how inclusive board operations can drive broader organizational accessibility and equity. GPC Members will gain access to the Live event and the recording. Non-members welcome.  "A Practical Guide to Inclusive Design - Boardroom Inclusivity" is part of the Leadership Knowledge Bucket. This program is suitable for all levels of governance professionals, but we recommend levels 3, 4 and 5. Want to learn more about your governance level and the GPC Knowledge Buckets?
