I was selected to a list of 100 board-ready candidates. Those named on the list of 100 were confirmed by the well-respected board directors and other governance experts to have the leadership and strategic skills necessary to add value to a board. - Tonie Leatherberry

The past year has seen unprecedented demand for directors from underrepresented communities. Boards have recognized that a full spectrum of voices in leadership is necessary to remain competitive in today’s demanding marketplace. Meanwhile, investors, proxy advisors and regulators are also pushing boards to diversify themselves.
Agenda, the Financial Times’ publication for corporate board members, and our partner Equilar are aiming to help our audience meet these demands by offering this list of 100 pre-vetted and board-ready candidates. Each hails from one of the demographic groups identified by California lawmakers in recent legislation aimed at diversifying boardrooms.
Previous international and state laws establishing requirements for gender diversity on boards have shown how intentionality in board recruitment can really move the needle — hundreds of companies added women to their boards after laws requiring female directors were passed.
Diversifying boards, which have remained largely male and white in the United States, requires deliberate recruitment choices. Meanwhile, our internal data at Agenda shows a keen interest among our readership in finding more board members from diverse backgrounds.
Those named on our list of 100 were confirmed by the well-respected board directors and other governance experts on our nominating and selection committees to have the leadership and strategic skills necessary to add value to a board. We encourage you to make use of this directory as you look to diversify your candidate slates.
Kind regards, Melissa J. Anderson Managing Editor Agenda
