The Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors is the premier professional network dedicated to increasing LGBTQ+ representation in U.S. corporate boardrooms. Established in 2022, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit provides a platform for current and aspiring LGBTQ+ board members to connect, advocate, and lead.
Through research, mentorship, and strategic partnerships, we work with Fortune 500 companies, institutional investors, and governance leaders to ensure that corporate boards reflect the full spectrum of talent and experience in today’s workforce.
As a recognized member of the corporate governance community, we engage with various stakeholders, such as NASDAQ, NYSE, NACD or PDA to promote LGBTQ+ talent. Our work has led to the growth of LGBTQ+ representation and inspired similar organizations in Canada and Australia.
Join us as we build a future where LGBTQ+ leaders thrive in boardrooms worldwide.
The Association is focused on bringing excellence to the Corporate Governance World.
Our membership is made up of board-ready LGBTQ+ executives and reflects the broader societal excellence of gender, race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education.
Out of 5,670 seats in Fortune 500 companies, it is estimated that only 0.9% are occupied by LGBTQ+ people. With a vast amount of research showing that diverse boards perform better, the Association is committed to increasing meaningful representation of LGBTQ+ people in the boardroom by nurturing, connecting, and supporting board-ready individuals.
