Who we're looking for:

We're looking for individuals committed to collaboration who are interested in growing and sharing their leadership experience and expanding their network of relationships. We are looking for board members that bring a diversity of thought and life experience, are able to ask good questions, and are dedicated to showing up for their nonprofit community. In order for MACC to thrive we need to tap into a broad range of ways to engage with the world, identify challenges, and build collaborative solutions.

It's critical that our network leadership reflect the diversity of our network of human service nonprofits and the vibrant communities they serve. We especially welcome individuals who have historically been excluded from leadership in our sector: individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Culture, LGBTQIA+, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and people of any age or family status.
