Welcome Mentees: 2019 Board Mentors of Color participants

We’re excited to welcome the inaugural co-hort of mentees to the 2019 TNP Board Mentors of Color Program. After careful review of over 70 applications, we’re thrilled to bring these leaders of color on board and help with them their leadership journey. Our mentees come from all walks of life & experiences and will be matched with our mentors and develop leadership skills, build & deepen community relationships and gain support in navigating Austin nonprofit boards. Join us in welcoming our inaugural co-hort!
