Welcoming New Leadership
Black Liberation Mural by Andre Jones, BAMP
With the support of executive leadership firm, Change Ignitors, we onboarded our new Executive Director, Monique Brown – a fourth-generation West Oaklander who is guiding our organization through its next phase of growth.
Monique started her career in West Oakland in response to the Loma Prieta earthquake aftermath. Monique managed a two-year project that trained and placed 85 Oakland residents in skilled positions rebuilding the Cypress Freeway structure, and since then has spent the last three decades in Workforce and Community Development supporting traditionally underserved communities.
