Learn More About the Resource Media Board of Directors
Who are we?
Resource Media is a non-profit communications firm with staff in 14 locations across North America. Our mission is to develop and implement communications strategies to build power for sustainable and equitable social change. We highly value an equitable and inclusive workplace. Resource Media has made a public commitment to engaging the skills and leadership of people of color, LGBTQ persons, and other individuals from diverse backgrounds.
The Board of Directors is a community of diverse practitioners within multiple professional spaces who have come together in avid support of Resource Media. We each bring a fierce commitment to equity and justice and a collective shared humility in our approach to meeting our board responsibilities. Our breadth of career backgrounds and depth of lived experiences provide a unique leadership and agile partnership as board members at Resource Media.
What do we do?
Our board work typically spans the areas of meeting organizational mission, seeking strategic alignment, ensuring financial planning and accountability, and centering diversity, equity, inclusion and justice throughout all of our and the organization’s work. Resource Media’s commitment to equity and social justice attracts individuals who envision the world operating differently than it does now and choose to spend time tackling ways to meet that vision. That vision is part of what inspires board members to volunteer their time and serve the organization. Participating in cutting edge justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) work learning and struggling alongside other board members helps to provide models and practices that can be employed outside of a singular organization. As some of our board members have shared:
“It is exciting to be associated with an organization that is doing innovative, important work and leading in social justice.”
“Good work and good intentions are not enough. Resource Media offers services that convert these things directly into change.”
How do we show up?
