2024 ISUAA Board Diversity Survey Results
The purpose of the Alumni Association Board of Directors diversity survey is to formally capture the identities and experiences of each board member. This helps the board as a whole to understand how each member brings their identities into their board work. The goal is to formally identify the true representation of the board in efforts to further the strategic goals of the Alumni Association Board of Directors’ DEI Committee and board objectives. The survey will be completed annually and serves as a powerful marker of where the board has come and where it will continue to go.
