From a desire to continue growing our community and center Black voices, we are excited to open a call, to welcome new members to our Board of Directors and Abundance Committee. We are looking for community members who are: rooted in a deep understanding of intersectional experiences; excited to strengthen the vision of MÁS; and passionate about supporting our ongoing cultural and educational activities that highlight Afro experiences from the global south.
At MÁS our central axis is to work collectively to promote Black pride and power and fight anti-Blackness with one of the Black community’s most powerful weapons/tools: Art We focus on connecting communities and our mission, vision and values are aligned in this sense. For this reason, four committees along with the working board, working interdependently, sustain the work of the MÁS
MÁS Board of Directors
The MÁS Board is made up of volunteer members of our community who, through centering Blackness, work to support the strategic vision and implement the mission and objectives of the organization in collaboration with the different MÁS committees and staff. They aim to work collectively to maintain unity and sustain the heart of the work we do as an organization with Black community and voices at the center.
Board members actively participate in organizational governance, event support, committees and more. Learn more here
All members of both the Board and Abundance Committee are volunteers and serve the community without compensation. Therefore, the alignment and commitment to the vision of MÁS is the main strength. We want to unite and enhance both the intention of the members of these committees and that of MÁS. Inviting new members is also opening ourselves to new flavors and perspectives in conversations and decision-making.
