About Us
Mocha Moms, Inc. serves as the premier organization for sisterhood, support and service for mothers of color. Mocha Moms, Inc. does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic level, education, or religion. Anyone who supports the mission and purpose of Mocha Moms is welcome to join.
Organization
Direction for Mocha Moms, Inc. is provided by the National Board of Directors, a dedicated group of volunteers. The National Board meets regularly to, among other things, determine ways to assist local chapters in their efforts to support members, plan national community service projects and events, establish policies and procedures, and assist in the formation of chapters.
Mocha Moms, Inc. also has a National Advisory Council, which serves to assist and advise the National Board. Regional Directors and State Coordinators serve as the liaison between local chapters and the National Board.
Regional Directors and State Coordinators also serve as a guide and support for all local chapters with an emphasis on coordinating activities in which many chapters throughout an area can participate.
Each local chapter of Mocha Moms elects officers who are in charge of the day-to-day affairs of that chapter.
From time to time, Mocha Moms, Inc. will establish national networks. In addition to web-based support and a regular column in our newsletter, networks address certain segments of the Mocha Moms, Inc. community, such as Teens & Tweens support, Mocha Entrepreneurs, or Homeschooling Moms. The network coordinators are available to help plan activities for a chapter, state or region.
Our Mission and Purpose
