New Year, New Topics for High-Perfoming Boards
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

We need a new approach to deal with our current environment.
Boards and DEI - Overcoming Common Hurdles
Maeve Richard, senior partner and the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practice leader at LeaderFactor, fundamentally believes DEI will deliver positive differences for employees, clients and patients, and will help meet the expectations of other stakeholders. Join Bill Musick, president of Integriti3D, as he discusses DEI with Maeve to learn how the right DEI initiatives will make sense for your organization, enhance operations, help generate funding, and sustain your business model in the long run.
Why Hospice Boards Should Be Focusing on Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse teams tend to be a lot better at problem-solving. They’re more creative. They bring different perspectives into the room as opposed to homogeneous teams or groups of individuals. They also have the ability to better relate to the community they serve. Bill Musick, President of Integriti3D, discusses DEI with Vernetta Walker, CEO, Vernetta Walker & Associates Consulting, Inc., about the serious conversations boards need to have around what DEI means for their organization and how being more diverse and inclusive will help position it for the future.
Finally, hospice-focused board development
The Hospice Governance Academy was created to provide industry-specific content directly to hospice leaders. HGA is an easy, online learning platform that ensures your board has a shared base of core hospice governance knowledge and up-to-date information on trends and issues facing hospice care today. Content is contributed regularly by industry-recognized experts.
