Cynthia Primo Martin has been on so many nonprofit organization boards, she can’t name them all.
In fact, she and a small circle of blacks in the Wilmington area are asked over and over to join the ranks of nonprofit boards. But this tiny pool of lawyers, corporate executives and business people is shrinking — largely due to over-commitment.
Some nonprofit executives can immediately rattle off names of about 10 of their favorite black candidates, including Stacey J. Mobley, a senior vice president with the DuPont Co., and Joshua W. Martin III, Primo Martin’s husband, who is a former judge and president of Verizon Delaware, and currently a partner at a Wilmington law firm.
