Google DocsBoard Racial Diversity UK - Questionnaire February 2025There is significant under-representation of Black and Asian trustees and chairs on charity boards in the UK. Board Racial Diversity UK (previously Action For Trustee Racial Diversity UK) seeks to evidence experiences of individuals from Black and Asian backgrounds who are current and aspiring charity trustees. We are keen to gather insight into the barriers, challenges and needs that current and aspiring trustees of Black and Asian heritage experience, to become and/or remain as charity trustees. We would therefore appreciate current and aspiring trustees of Black and/or Asian heritage completing this short questionnaire, to share their experiences with us. The questionnaire should take roughly 5-10 minutes to complete, and is anonymous. Responses will only be used for the purpose of this research, and will be protected by GDPR and other data protection regulations. Your response will help us to support charities to recruit and retain trustees from Black and Asian backgrounds. As a thank-you for participating, you can also be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 voucher. Details for this can be found at the end of the survey. The deadline for this questionnaire is Monday 30th April at 10am. For any questions, please email action4trusteeracialdiversity@gmail.com . We look really forward to receiving your responses!

Risk Management Committees should ALL have 'Our CEO is male and can force women into sex.' as an agenda item.

Hiring a woman into the CEO job obviates (most of) that risk.

Also, 'rockstar' employees - they're *never* worth it.

As corporate scandals unfold, are company boards doing enough to stamp out bad executive behaviour? - ABC News

ABC News · As corporate scandals unfold, are company boards doing enough to stamp out bad executive behaviour?By Nassim Khadem
Continued thread

Pildes, the NYU professor, said that while he was concerned about efforts to block certification at the local level,
he was confident that state courts could resolve any disputes by the time the electors meet.

A new law, the 🔸Electoral Count Reform Act🔸, should provide a significant new layer of protection against election subversion.

The bipartisan bill passed Congress at the end of 2022.

The law makes it so that Trump and his allies cannot repeat what they did in 2020 and submit false slates of electors from key swing states.

Significantly, it says that the slate of electors submitted by a state’s executive is the legitimate slate and raises the threshold in both houses of Congress to object to the electoral result.

While the law controls what Congress must do once it receives certificates from electors,
it doesn’t have much to say about what must happen in the lead-up to the electoral college vote.

🔥That could leave a lot of wriggle room for Trump and allies to try to slow down certification and go to court to try to force states to miss their certification deadline.

After Donald Trump nearly succeeded in overturning the 2020 election, ❓is the US better prepared to stop a similar effort in 2024?❓

Lawyers and other activists say they are ready, having spent the last four years studying and understanding the vulnerabilities that Trump and allies targeted in 2020.

Any effort to block certification is likely to be swiftly challenged in courts,
where Trump has already been unsuccessful dozens of times.

The new Electoral Count Reform Act should offer additional safeguards should there be an effort such as there was in 2020 to get Congress to stop its certification of the vote

Yet it would be a mistake to dismiss the threat altogether.

The same pressure points that existed in 2020 exist in 2024,
and in some places election deniers have been elevated to positions of power.

“This has started earlier in the cycle and is louder and is more consistent,” said Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center.

“That is all just at a different level than it was before 2020.”
