NYN Media Focuses on Leake & Watts Diverse Board

The NYN Media Insights Podcast Looks at How Leake & Watts Has Diversified Its Board

 

Leake & Watts’ strong, active board enables us to positively impact the lives of New Yorkers. We were happy to share our insights on board governance and diversity on NYN Media's Insights Podcast on June 1, 2017. 

In this 20-minute conversation. Alan Mucatel, executive director of Leake & Watts, explains that nonprofit leaders should count on a board that asks critical questions, and that a diversity of experience among board members—whether it is professional or personal experience—enriches the conservation around the table.

Erik Moss, one of the newest board members, discusses why his company, BlackRock, encourages emerging leaders to serve on nonprofit boards, and how he connected to Leake & Watts through a board service training program called BoardLead, and why his background as a former New York City schoolteacher give him an affinity to Leake & Watts’ mission.
