Maestra prioritizes building community among its members. One of our fastest-growing programs is our collective of REGIONAL AND AFFINITY GROUPS, co-led by Program Heads Kat Sherrell and Amanda Wansa Morgan.
The hubs for our Community Groups are currently based on Facebook. To join one of our Facebook communities, please click the appropriate link below. If you’re interested in joining a group but you’re not currently on Facebook, please reach out to the group’s moderator(s) to be added to the mailing list or the appropriate Slack channel, where available.
