Other companies that already have at least one Black board director have also signed on to aid efforts to improve boardroom diversity, including Verizon, Nordstrom, and United Airlines.More than a dozen companies, including Zillow and M.M.LaFleur, are promising to add at least one Black director to their boards within the next year, as businesses across America slowly get their leadership to look more like the customers they serve.

Zillow, Nextdoor and Other Companies Pledge to Add Black DirectorsPublic and private companies are signing on to the Board Challenge, a pledge for boards to add a Black director within one year in a bid to diversify and help accelerate more inclusion in corporate America. Ok Racist and defies merit consideration. Promotion based on skin color degrades the execs authority and worth of the company. Similar to female execs who are promoted for sleeping with a boss.
