BOSTON, Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — BoardProspects.com, an innovative software platform which has disrupted traditional board recruitment by providing corporations with direct access to a prestigious community of thousands of credentialed board candidates, today announced that it is celebrating Black History Month by recognizing the Top 25 Black Board Member in the U.S. The recognition takes place in the February issue of Board Recruitment – BoardProspects’ monthly e-publication examining the latest news and trends in board recruitment and composition.
“We are thrilled to recognize these exceptional board members as part of our celebration of Black History Month,” said Mark Rogers, CEO of BoardProspects. “Although there has been significant progress during the past couple of years in regard to the number of new Black board members being appointed to corporate boards, there is still a long way to go.
