Toronto may be the most diverse city in the world, but boardrooms across the city are not following suit. Instead, there is a "striking" lack of inclusiveness at the top of public, private and non-profit organizations across the city, according to a report to be released today.

"The Value of Diverse Leadership" was commissioned by the Toronto City Summit Alliance and the Maytree Foundation to make a business case for the importance of making diversity a priority at the board level.

The findings of the report, many of which have been known for years, serve as the impetus for the DiverseCity initiative, a plan for increasing diversity in leadership roles.

"There is a diversity deficit in the leadership landscape of the GTA," said Ratna Omidvar, president of the Maytree Foundation. "Whether you look at Bay St., or public service, who sits at board tables, or who is elected to run the city, there is a deficit in each one of these places."

One glaring example she cites is city council. In a city where almost 50 per cent of the population is a visible minority, only 4 of 44 city councillors are members of a visible minority.
