2017 Annual Board Meeting

Annual Board Meeting 2017


On Thursday, September 21, 2017, our wonderful board members united for our annual board meeting at Union Pizza Works in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, New York.   In attendance included returning board members: Diana Diaz Torres (Executive Director), Alexandria Agrinsoni (Treasurer), Kenny Lozano (Sports Event Director), Jeanette Aquino (Secretary), Charmaine Mayers, Fanny Mera, Jessica Thomas, Areta Gjicali (Scholar Alum 2010), Alex Martin (Scholar Alum 2012) and Sue Roye.  Evelyn Mosquea was unable to attend but granted her proxy to Diana.   Christine Rivas (2008) and Richard Bohan (2009), both former Scholars themselves were not present but were missed.

During this meeting, our board discussed vital items that needed to be decided for the future of our organization's fundraising efforts and distribution of funds to our current and future scholars.

Serving as a board member is a rewarding but time consuming volunteer opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience to be able to share ideas and provide assistance in developing and facilitating activities that not only raise funds for the organization but spread awareness of our efforts and mission.  We service underprivileged college students the emotional and financial assistance to fulfill their undergraduate goals for their four years of college.  The process of selecting, following and creating programs to engage our scholars are truly hard work and a labor of love.

Thank you to all those current board members, who continue to serve in this capacity.  Your work does not go unnoticed. 

If you interested in joining this amazing team of dedicated and caring group of people please send your resume with a letter of intent to SMBS2010@aol.com.
