Fresh, Accessible Perspective

After listening to one episode of this new podcast, I immediately subscribed and look forward to continuing to hear the fresh perspective NACD is bringing to the topic. This first episode on diversity in the workplace brings in expert perspectives yet challenges conventional thinking. Love the podcast forum for this topic.

NACD missed the boat on this one. This podcast will quickly evolve or die.
