Note: 

Mary Magdalene Apostle Catholic Community (MMACC) is, to the best of our ability, democratic and transparent to its members. To that end our structure consists of a Corporate Board (to comply with the 501 (c) 3 requirements of the IRS) which handles finances and public relations, a Community Council which oversees most of the ministries in the community, establishes policy, generates the community calendar  of events and sees to many of the other details that need attention, and the Pastoral Team which ministers to the community spiritually.

The Board consists of 7 members – one designated by the Community Council from among its number.  Given the nature of legal, financial, and personnel oversight entrusted to the Board, potential candidates are asked to consider their personal gifts and qualifications. In addition to a strong commitment to MMACC’s mission, vision, and sustainability as a community, suggested capabilities should include at least one or more of the following: Previous experience on a nonprofit or corporate Board; Legal knowledge; Corporate or non-profit experience as a director or employee in a leadership position; Expertise in finance or the ability to understand accounts and budgets; Inter-personal skills to work collaboratively; Ability to think big picture; Willingness to make difficult decisions.
