Board-Ready for MADE

Summary

Board-Ready for MADE seeks to address a critical equity and corporate governance challenge by creating programing that is primarily intended to support and empower primarily Black and Hispanic/Latinx accounting or finance professionals with the interest and experience to be considered for nomination to a public company board or directorship, but who might not have a playbook for starting the journey.

Program

The program runs over a four-month period and includes:

Plenary sessions provided by Deloitte’s Center for Board Effectiveness on core topics, including an introduction to corporate governance and hot topics on the board’s agenda; small-group discussion sessions on topics including how to draft your board bio and candid discussions of the issues unique to racially and ethnically diverse finance and accounting professionals in the C-suite and on the board; and formal mentorship pairings to tailor individualized guidance.

Location

Participation is primarily virtual and may include an option to attend in-person events.

Eligibility

Board-Ready for MADE is primarily intended to benefit Black and Hispanic/Latinx accounting or finance professionals typically at the C-suite, SVP, or EVP level, who are not currently serving on a public company board, and with the interest and experience to be considered for nomination to a public company board within the next three years.¹

Deadline

Participant nominations are accepted year-round.
