Alianza Americas believes in building democracy by practicing it, in both basic governance and program-setting matters. The agency's decision-making body is its national assembly of member organizations, which meets annually in November. NALACC is legally governed by a board. This boardplays an active role of the board in executing programs. The membership also plays a strong role in governing the organization. At each annual assembly meeting, the membership modifies and approves the annual work-plan that is proposed by the staff. All of the members of the Board are Latino immigrant leaders who have been nominated by organizational members to serve a 3-year term on the board. The board is responsible for supervising the Executive Director, monitoring the financial health of the organization and for ensuring that the activities of the organization are consistent with the mission, as well as both the overall goals and objectives, and the specific work-plan approved by the Assembly of Members. The day-to-day coordination and promotion of NALACC’s work is managed by a small staff led by NALACC’s Executive Director, Oscar Chacón. The team is based in Chicago. Volunteer involvement of member organizations is key to NALACC’s ability to make an impact. |
