A Seat at the Table: How Equity for Nonprofits Starts in the Boardroom

Cynthia Primo Martin retired from her role as the founder and executive director of Trustees of Color in 2019, but she didn’t retire from the work. Now, she’s back with a book, the “Handbook for Nonprofit Leadership: Recruiting, Training and Engaging Trustees of Color.”

DCF President & CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay sits down with his friend Cynthia this week to talk about her work, her book, and how true equity in the nonprofit sector begins in the boardroom.

“Handbook for Nonprofit Leadership: Recruiting, Training and Engaging Trustees of Color” is published by Cedar Tree Books and available for purchase online.

All six episodes in this third season of Building Opportunity will feature stories about how nonprofit organizations in Delaware are working to advance equity in their own unique ways.

In the DCF’s Building Opportunity in Delaware Podcast, President & CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay interviews people from around Delaware about how we can build opportunity for all people and strengthen our communities.
