Maestra prioritizes building community among its members.
One of our fastest-growing programs is our 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.
