Our Team
Working Board
Maangaar Voices operates as a working board, meaning our board members are actively involved in the daily operations of the organization. Instead of a traditional hierarchy, we collaborate to drive our mission forward—facilitating programs, engaging the community, and ensuring impactful advocacy. This hands-on approach allows us to stay closely connected to the needs of the immigrant autism community while laying the foundation for future growth.
