Meet BCBR Alumni
View our alumni resource library.
The purpose of BCBR is to get more Black leaders on public and private corporate boards, leading to better business outcomes and racial justice.
We accompany BCBR Alumni on their board journeys; partner with organizations and individuals seeking qualified, talented leaders to serve on boards; and facilitate networking events among BCBR community members.
Our outcome metric is 100% placement of BCBR program alumni on public or private corporate boards within 12 months of program completion. If you have open board seats, contact Thane Kreiner, PhD at tkreiner@scu.edu. We provide customized searches of our database for sponsors.
Join us for our next Meet the Cohort event on September 1, 2022 from 1 - 3pm Pacific
