After a year of re-assessing the Board Mentors of Color program and the need for more leaders to step up, support and create access for the next generation of leaders, we’re excited to announce that the Board Mentors of Color (BMOC) program is back! We, at The New Philanthropists, are inspired by the new slate of mentors and would like to welcome the 2024 Mentors. At a time when we need to advocate even more for equity, inclusion and diversity, our mentors are TNP’s co-conspirators and visionaries, ensuring there will always be a place for everyone to thrive in our community.
The Board Mentors of Color Program brings together community leaders, that are aligned with our mission, and connects them with board prospects of color in order to provide mentorship and guidance on their board service journey. This program also creates a safe space for deep conversations to happen around race, and is fundamental in creating opportunity and access for leaders of color to take a seat at the table. We invite you to learn more about each mentor and celebrate their participation!
Get matched with an experienced community leader and develop leadership skills, build & deepen community relationships and gain support in navigating Austin nonprofit boards. To learn more and apply, CLICK HERE.
