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.
Companies have been making slow progress in getting people who aren't white men into leadership positions. Across the big companies in the S&P 500 index, more than a third did not have a single Black director in 2019, according to Black Enterprise. The rate of 37% was down slightly from 39% a year before.
One reason is that investors and others say it's easier to track the numbers on gender diversity than on racial or ethnic diversity. But The Board Challenge is the latest example of the pressure moving toward better representation for racial minorities as well.

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. Rank and file never respects them. Just like Kamala. How about adding the most qualified and stop judging people by their color? This is the Nazi Nuremberg race laws in a new guise
