Our Team
Governance Structure
Havenly is a member-based organization. Members are alumni of the fellowship that have elected to take on a leadership role in the organization, and have the power to vote the chief staff and Board Members in and out of the organization.
Havenly's staff is directed by three co-directors, not one. They make strategic decisions together and oversee different aspects of the organization.
Havenly is governed by a Board of Directors and four committees, who together advise and supervise the staff.
In three years, we aim for 51% of all committee member seats to be filled by refugee and immigrant women from low-income backgrounds, so that the organization is meaningfully directed by people who come from the community that Havenly was created for.
