The Concilio, a Dallas-based nonprofit dedicated to building stronger communities by unlocking opportunities for Latino and other diverse families, announced its 2023-2024 board of trustees and incoming board chair Maryanne Piña-Frodsham, CEO of Career Management Partners.
“The Concilio has had tremendous success in the past years expanding our programs and providing necessary resources to our community.

As chair, she will lead the board’s initiatives through her one-year term, driving support of The Concilio’s mission to provide culturally responsive programs to the communities they serve.
Engaging the community
