CARMEL, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / Small-Cap Institute, Inc. (SCI), a first-of-its-kind online education community exclusively for officers and directors of publicly-traded companies, today announced a board diversity initiative designed to educate small-cap boards about how to efficiently locate board candidates with greater thought diversity.

'As experienced investors know well, boards that are comprised of directors with greater thought diversity are more likely to outperform homogenous boards,' said David Scher, SCI's founder. 'Unfortunately, many small-cap companies can't afford to use executive search firms and don't know where to find great women, minorities, and US veterans for their boards. So, we decided to solve the problem, for free.'

SCI's Diversity Report will catalog the organizations in the United States focused on finding board seats for women, minorities, and US veterans. To be included in that report, all relevant organizations should send an email to: [email protected].

The Diversity Report will be available to Small-Cap Institute, Inc. members on the company's website. SCI membership is only available to officers and directors of public companies, and it is free to join.
