What is the Board-Level Engineering Diversity Programs course about?

Leaders are expected to deliver measurable diversity outcomes without the tools to design, implement, or govern programs across jurisdictions, cultures, and remote workflows. Legacy training doesn't address board-level reporting, compliance integration, or cross-functional rollout at scale.
