Board Member Nominations
Dominican Writers Association

The Dominican Writers Association (DWA) invites community members to nominate leaders who are passionate about amplifying Dominican and Latinx literary voices. As our organization continues to grow, we are seeking committed individuals who can help guide our mission, support our programming, and strengthen our impact across the diaspora.

What We’re Looking For

We encourage nominations for individuals who:

​

  • Believe in DWA’s mission and values

  • Have experience in nonprofit, arts, education, publishing, or community leadership

  • Bring skills in fundraising, finance, law, marketing, events, or governance

  • Can serve as ambassadors for DWA in professional and community spaces

  • Represent the diversity of the Dominican and Latinx diaspora

Board Member Responsibilities

Board members help DWA thrive by:

  • Attending quarterly board meetings

  • Participating in at least one committee

  • Supporting fundraising initiatives

  • Advocating for DWA within their networks

  • Serving a two-year term

Equity & Access Pathway: Ambassador Board

At the Dominican Writers Association, we recognize that some individuals play a vital role in shaping culture, opening doors, and elevating Dominican and Latinx literary visibility—yet may not currently be in a position to meet the annual board financial contribution.

To honor and include these leaders, DWA offers an Ambassador Board pathway.

​

Ambassador Board Members are respected cultural advocates, creatives, and community leaders who:

  • Support DWA through visibility, advocacy, and strategic connections

  • Represent DWA at events, public programs, and literary spaces

  • Provide insight and guidance aligned with our mission

 

Ambassador Board Members do not hold voting power and are not required to meet the annual financial contribution. This pathway allows DWA to include powerful community voices while upholding strong governance and sustainability practices within our voting Board of Directors.

For nominations to the Ambassador Board, please include a brief statement describing the nominee’s community impact, advocacy work, or unique contribution to Dominican and Latinx literary culture.

​

To nominate an Ambassador Board member, please email Angy at info@dominicanwriters.com with the nominee’s name, contact information, and a brief description of their community impact.
