Is anyone actually advocating for diversity of socioeconomic status on boards? Board members need to be highly skilled and experienced in business, which I would guess correlates very well with wealth.

- smallstepforman 7y agoPlace your quota of women, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, LBGT minorities, disabilities and the rest and you end up with a board where the best potential candidates based on skill are excluded.
- dragonwriter 7y agoSkill directed in a manner hostile to one's interest is a harm, not a benefit, so arguing that representing interests that the current elite is hostile to on boards would limit their skill isn't really a negative for the purpose for which the diversity push is made.
