NYN Media Focuses on Our Diverse Board
The NYN Media Insights Podcast Looks at How Rising Ground Has Diversified Its Board
Rising Ground’s strong, active board enables us to positively impact the lives of New Yorkers. We were happy to share our insights on board governance and diversity on NYN Media's Insights Podcast on June 1, 2017.
In this 20-minute conversation. Alan Mucatel, executive director of Rising Ground, explains that nonprofit leaders should count on a board that asks critical questions, and that a diversity of experience among board members—whether it is professional or personal experience—enriches the conservation around the table.
Erik Moss, one of the newest board members, discusses why his company, BlackRock, encourages emerging leaders to serve on nonprofit boards, and how he connected to Rising Ground through a board service training program called BoardLead, and why his background as a former New York City schoolteacher give him an affinity to Rising Ground’s mission.
