Our board members are all volunteers and range from our original founders to newer kids on the block. We find synergy in our intergenerational collaborations, learning from past and present to make our way into the future. We are a group of performance and visual artists, educators, community organizers, corporate and small business owners and professionals, family members, and neighbors, members and friends of the African American community who believe in the community-engaged educational and artistic vision of SAACC. We welcome anyone who shares in our vision to be part of our community by taking the first step to reach out and say hello.
