Black Corporate Board Readiness (BCBR) accelerates the representation of qualified Black leaders in corporate governance. BCBR welcomes executives from all backgrounds and identities, regardless of their race, color, national origin, or other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws, with substantial senior leadership experience or comparable responsibilities (such as CEO or General Manager), as well as entrepreneurs who have built and successfully exited companies. We invite leaders committed to promoting the representation of Black leaders in corporate governance to apply, whether they seek public or private board roles.
Through a structured executive education program with over 40+ virtual contact hours and 4 hours of individual mentorship, BCBR participants gain comprehensive knowledge on corporate governance, personal branding for board positions, and the unique challenges and opportunities of corporate directorship. BCBR’s impact extends beyond the program itself, offering ongoing networking opportunities, continuing education, and a growing BCBR Alumni network dedicated to excellence and inclusion in corporate board service and business leadership.
