Newly-elected Chair Haley Moss adds, “I am excited and honored to be the Junior Board’s first Chair. It is important to get young people involved in nonprofit leadership, and it is crucial to be sure neurodiverse voices are heard and respected within organizations that serve people with these differences.”
