Changing Demographics: Creating Your Next-Generation Board
“Move over boomer.” I confess: I am a baby boomer, part of the enormous post-World War II generation that, for decades, has dominated corporate and not-for-profit board leadership. According to The Governance Institute’s 2023 biennial survey, the median age for hospital and health system board members is 60 years; and according to a 2022 American Hospital Association survey, nearly 20 percent of such board members are baby boomers age 71 or older.
