More Equitable Nonprofit Governance

In “Four Insights and Five Key Steps for More Equitable Nonprofit Governance,” Dr. Renee Rubin Ross highlights SVP Portland as a positive example of an innovative governance model. “SVP sought input from BIPOC leaders about opportunities for sharing power and how they want to engage, and SVP responded to it directly, not just in words but in structure, policies, and actions. They engaged the community in decisions that mattered to them and impacted their work.”

Renee, founder of The Ross Collective, leads strategic planning and governance processes that create clarity, energy and justice. She also directs the Cal State East Bay Nonprofit Certificate Program and teaches for the program.
