On Monday, August 26, 2024, our board held their annual meeting via zoom at 7pm with the following members in attendance: Diana Diaz Torres (executive director), Jeanette Aquino (secretary), Sue Roye (treasurer), Fanny Mera, Charmaine Mayers, Alex Martin, and Alexandria Agrinsoni. The meeting was able to proceed with seven out the nine board members present. Board members currently holding official positions chose to remain in roles.
A review of the current status of our organization was discussed, including financial stance, our mentor/scholar program and fundraising. As an organization we depend on the support of donations and participation in events held. Some held during the 2024 year included the Got Sneakers and the N.Y.C.F.C. soccer game as well as the Panda Express dine out day. Due to Covid (2020), many in-person activities have not been held since but will be revisited in an event planning board meeting to be scheduled for this December 2024. We are looking forward to engage our supportive community in more interactive events in the future but always welcome direct donations to our organization. Any one with great ideas and is interested in joining our volunteer team, please reach out to Diana.
If you would like to support our organization, there is an annual Giving Tuesday event online this year on December 3rd via Facebook where Network for Good provides the organization with the sum of donations made online in the new year. Although it was not utilized in 2023, this an option for our supporters this year. You can also donate by sending a check or money directly to our organization to the following address:
