Beyond Traditional Associations: C-Suites and Board Directors Pursue a New Model of Collective

Senior executive leaders, board directors, and aspiring directors of both public and private companies are increasingly seeking new models for connection and engagement that move beyond the historic focus on traditional trade, professional, or business associations.

There is a movement afoot toward new collectives premised upon diverse life experiences and perspective grounded in gender, color or ethnicity, identity and orientation. Is this the next wave of DEI as these self-selecting 'affinity collectives' swell in numbers and impact?

Fabrice Houdart, Founder and CEO of the GLBTQ+ Corporate Directors
