MUA’s Board of Directors is another avenue via which we demonstrate our commitment to Latina immigrant leadership and solidarity.  Over half of MUA’s board consists of member-leaders that represent our different programs and offices.  These leaders are chosen by the members via a vote every two years. All Board Officers are MUA member-leaders.  Community allies are nominated to the Board by the Executive Director and elected based on their demonstrated support of and respect for immigrant women’s leadership as well as their expertise in key issue areas and sectors.
