Board of Directors

MUA’s Board of Directors is another avenue via which we demonstrate our commitment to Latina and Indigenous immigrant leadership and solidarity. Over half of MUA’s board consists of member-leaders, with leaders elected from our three geographic areas (San Francisco, Oakland, Union City/Hayward) as well as our Indigenous women's program, Grupo Mam. These leaders are chosen by the members via a vote every three 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.
