Meet Our Team

AZAR board of directors, staff, volunteers, and interns are a diverse group, reflecting the diversity inherent in the world. They are progressive leaders who have significantly influenced thinking, and action, in the areas of charity, social justice, economic equality, and empowerment movements. They bring expertise, resources, and vision to their work – along with track records as catalysts of change. The second and far more challenging area where it’s imperative is to establish alignment in articulating and implementing the foundation’s values. The president's position is to help staff understand how those principles are to be practiced in every aspect of the foundation’s affairs and to push the board to clearly articulate how they want those values implemented that is integrity, honesty, fidelity, and collaboration. “We say an original idea is never original”. We expand on the idea by incorporating our goals and values. This is what makes us unique.
