Building an Inclusive and Diverse Board with Ronnie Haggerty and Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew
There are many challenges in achieving inclusion and diversity on boards. Many non-profit boards struggle with putting together a balanced board of diverse voices, including younger board members. Ronnie Haggerty, Vice President of Community Relations for The United Way at Greater Houston, and Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew, Vice President of Community Affairs for the Strategic Alliances at the State Fair of Texas, joined Weaver’s Alyssa Martin to discuss these issues and provide insights and tips for boards looking to create inclusive and diverse boards that can lead non-profits to success. “The reality is in today’s world boards simply are not diverse,” Haggerty said in a sobering statement. “We have an aging, white, board representation in communities like Houston, which is one of the most diverse cities in the United States. Only 35% of board members report that their board composition represents the demographics of the populations they serve. And only a quarter of those boards place a high priority on diversifying those organizations.” There’s a lot of work to do to make these boards relevant in today’s world. Dr. Booker-Drew took the issue an additional step further. “When you look at diversity, not only from a board perspective but senior leadership and sometimes even staffing in our non-profit organizations, there is a problem. Many of our non-profits, particularly those led by people of color diversity, are important in those organizations because there are networks they typically don’t have access to. It’s also important to pay attention to the role of age and even ideology. Sometimes we tend to get people who think like we do. The challenge in that is we have blind spots.” It is critical to bring in people with different viewpoints, different geographies, and different ages, in addition to color diversity, to create a well-balanced board.

Should Your Bank Consider Banking Cannabis-Related Businesses? with Rachel Mondragon
Cannabis-related products and companies squarely live in a world of a perpetual gray area. To help clear up the opaque nature of banking by cannabis-related businesses on this episode of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers, host Shelby Skrhak sits down with Rachel Mondragon, Weaver Senior Manager in Regulatory Compliance specializing in financial institutions, to discuss. The federal Controlled Substances Act makes marijuana a schedule 1 prohibited drug, plant and all, but recent legislation has given states new ability to delineate parts of marijuana, from medicinal CBD all the way to whole decriminalization. The legality of it is gray, so banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions have kept their distance. "Understandably, you have financial institutions thinking of banking this type of client but they're obviously hesitating," Mondragon said. "Part of that is lack of knowledge and understanding when we make a distinction between marijuana, THC, and CBD." But that's left legitimate CBD businesses to make due as an all-cash organization, despite the industry's rapid growth and proliferation across the United States. With many cannabis-related businesses needing banking and very few banks serving these customers, there's an opportunity. "For bankers that are looking at potentially banking this type of customer, there is profit to be made," Mondragon said. "Financial institutions can't deny that there are other financial institutions that have taken this leap, saying 'These people have to bank somewhere. We're going to go into this niche and we're taking that risk.' But it's still a risk-based decision."
