Hi John,
New American Leaders and New American Leaders Action Fund are empowering a new type of leader: authentic, passionate, and community-centered. But to continue to build our movement, we need visionary leaders like you to help drive our work.
I am excited to announce that we are seeking nominations for passionate, dedicated individuals to join our Boards of Directors for New American Leaders and New American Leaders Action Fund!
Both boards play a vital role in advancing our missions and ensuring our organizations thrive. If you or someone you know fits the following criteria, we encourage you to submit a nomination:
- Dedication to Organizational Mission: The optimal candidate is politically engaged with values rooted in social justice. They should have a strong gender and racial equity lens, even if they themselves are not women or people of color.
- Leadership Skills: We seek individuals with proven leadership abilities, innovative thinking, and the ability to drive positive change. Ideally, they have previous board experience.
- Diverse Background: Candidates should have life experience connected to the immigrant experience. Our boards aim to reflect the diverse communities we serve so we encourage nominations from individuals of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
- Fundraising Commitment: Board members are expected to make a sincere commitment to actively contribute their time, skills, and resources towards NAL or NALAF’s mission, ensuring that their leadership is underpinned by a meaningful personal annual donation. Additionally, each board member is required to lead by example in fundraising efforts, pledging to secure a minimum of $10,000 in financial support for New American Leaders and a minimum of $5,000 for New American Leaders Action Fund.
Interested in joining us? Want to introduce us to someone who is a good fit? Please use this form to nominate someone to NAL or NALAF's Board of Directors—we will take it from there and be in touch! If you have any questions or would like to discuss the nomination process further, please feel free to contact Dani Gatson.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our movement. I am so grateful for your assistance in finding individuals who are dedicated to helping us make our vision of a stronger, more inclusive democracy a reality. I know that together we can make a lasting impact on our democracy and our communities.
Sincerely,
Ghida Dagher
CEO and President
