Historically, our Khmu leaders and board members have comprised of majority men, seniors, and tribal elders. These great leaders have laid the foundation and build a structure for us. We will use the structure and continue their work to build a future for our Khmu people.
For this new year and the start of a new decade of 2020, it is an opportunity for us to grow with time. Our focus will be the following strategies
- Identify young men and women from different Khmu communities that may have interests and aptitude to work in their communities-to create the next generation of Khmu leaders.
- Create a cultural appropriate leadership curriculum, one which include young people from all of the Khmu communities.
- Build a team in which each group will have one topic to focus on including Higher Education, Fundraising, Community Outreach & Training, Elderly care, and Cultural Preservation.
