Scenario

When organizations say they want change but resist new voices

Our nonprofit board keeps saying we need younger voices and fresh perspectives but every time a young board member suggests something that challenges how we've always operated, there's this polite resistance that shuts it down. I'm one of the older members and I can feel myself doing it too even though I know better.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The gap between stated values and actual behavior creates a performance of inclusion that protects existing power structures.
