Step Up & Lead

Step Up & Lead: Serving on New Orleans Boards & Commissions

New Orleans thrives when its leadership reflects the voices, experiences, and brilliance of its people. Yet, too often, the decision-making tables that shape our city’s future lack diverse perspectives. It’s time to change that.

Join us for Step Up & Lead, an empowering event designed to connect young professionals and people of color with opportunities to serve on the City of New Orleans’ boards and commissions. Whether you’re passionate about housing, transportation, economic development, or arts and culture, there’s a place for you to make a real impact.

📅 Date: Thursday, March 27th, 2025

📍 Location: Gallier Hall, 545 St Charles Ave.
⏰ Time: 5:30-7:30pm

✅ Hear from current board members about their experiences and pathways to leadership.
✅ Get step-by-step guidance on how to apply and position yourself for appointment.
