## Resource

Today on the Take On Board Podcast, I'm speaking with Malini Raj about how boards stay connected with the people that they serve.  Malini is on the boards of The Parenthood, Entertainment for Change, and the Settlement Council of Australia. She's previously been on the boards of the Australian Pituitary Foundation and FinSIA. Malini is the executive director of Australian Multicultural Women's Alliance. She brings over 20 years' experience across financial services, corporate, and the not-for-profit sector, and serves on several national boards that I've already mentioned. She's a strong advocate for inclusive leadership, gender equality, and greater representation of multicultural women in governance and decision-making.   Links and Resources Malini on LinkedIn Spotlight on Cultural Diversity - Women on Boards How WOB is working to get more diverse women on boards WORKING TO GET MORE DIVERSE WOMEN ON BOARDS (Page 26 - 27) Counting Culture Social Impact and Board Roles Upcoming TOB Events All events You might want to: Join the Take on Board Facebook community Join the Take on Board LinkedIn community Follow along on Twitter Work with me Join the Take on Board: Kickstarter group program Join the Take on Board: Accelerator group program Find out more about me Hosted on Acast.
