Update (July 16, 2020): Rather than a formal delegate's assembly, MVA's organizing committee has decided to reconfigure this event into a workshop. IAF organizers will offer guidance on how to to get the alliance back on track. We will offer this workshop 2-3 more times to accommodate our membership's summer schedules. 

Prior to the event, please review this draft document, consider whether it aligns with your organization's priorities, and give some thought to which components of the organizing plan your members would be willing to contribute time and resources towards. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11ijs5NuS_CLJkbaS1oWfL7cvpBieogRu/view?usp=sharing 

Concerned about racism, climate change, affordable housing, public health, worker's rights, colonialism, mental health, a Just Recovery? Let's reorganize MVA into a diverse, powerful broad based organization capable of meaningful change. 

Join MVA's board and organizing committee for an internal audit of your alliance:

• Current financials and the budget required for a full-time organizer
• Current membership and the diversity required to "stand for the whole"
• Organizing plan for 2020-2021: financial sustainability, expanded membership, and strengthening our member institutions

Each member organization is asked to send 3-5 delegates. Delegates should be prepared to report on your organization's commitments to MVA (report questions will be sent out by July 15th).
