If we want to Change the Board Game, we need to create different pathways to get there.   We’re excited to welcome the third Change the Board Game cohort in partnership with NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors), our largest class yet, with 22 exceptional executives preparing for board service.   When we launched this initiative in 2024, we set out to help double the rate at which women and people of color are added to U.S. public company boards by 2027. Since then, more than 60 executives have participated in NACD Accelerate through the program, and applications have grown 4x year over year.   58% of Change the Board Game graduates who have completed the program are now serving on boards.   “Through Change the Board Game, we're helping exceptional leaders gain the preparation, access, and networks needed to secure board opportunities,” said Tarang Amin, Chairman & CEO, e.l.f. Beauty. “Seeing more than half of our program graduates already serving on boards reinforces what we have long believed: when talented leaders are given the opportunity, they thrive.”   Congratulations to our newest cohort. We’re honored to be part of your journey and look forward to seeing the impact you’ll make in future boardrooms!
