OPICA is an non-profit organization serving adults with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Located in West Los Angeles, we are seeking Board members that will reflect our very diverse community. Due to recent retirements, we have an opportunity to add 4 new Board members. If you work with older adults in the financial, trust, or similar spaces, please let me know and I will send you our
OPICA fills a critical need serving people whose lives are impacted by dementia—cognitive decline severe enough to interfere with daily life (Alzheimer’s is the most common type). Because dementia profoundly affects the lives of the whole family, OPICA offers services that support the diagnosed individual and their caregivers equally. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for as many individuals and their families as possible. We make a positive impact one adult at a time, one family at a time.
For over 42 years OPICA has served adults experiencing memory loss and their families, in a multicultural, multiracial tapestry. We wish to replicate our membership’s diversity with a board of directors of inclusion. The OPICA Board of Directors, as the decision-making body, play a critical role in continuing the priorities supporting diversity and inclusion among our members and works to create the same within the Board.
Board committees include Advancement, Finance, Governance, Human Resources, Luncheon, and Strategic Planning. Board directors are expected to serve on at least one committee. Board meetings occur every other month (six times per year). Directors are elected to three-year terms and are expected to meet a $2,500 give/get while personally donating any amount to three primary funding activities. Candidates do not need to have previously served on a nonprofit board of directors.
If interested please contact Ann Hammond, Governance Chair at ann.w.hammond@gmail.com

Boston City Singers was founded in the spring of 1995 as the Dorchester-based satellite of Youth pro Musica to provide outstanding opportunities for inner-city youth in the neighborhoods in which they live. We are looking forward to our 27th season.
We continue to adjust our educational methods to engage our membership. The 2021-2021 school year will be devoted to rebuilding our membership that was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our dedication to serving metro Boston’s low-income and otherwise marginalized families has resulted in steady membership growth pre-COVID, from 25 students aged 7 – 9 in FY95 to 500 singers aged 4 – 18 in 2020. Prior to March 2020, we held 14 weekly school-year programs in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain and North Cambridge.
Our mission is to provide the highest level of musical training and performance opportunities to young people starting at age four until high school graduation. Our programs inspire personal journeys, celebrate diversity, and foster goodwill. Our strength lies in our commitment to social justice and our acceptance of differences across age, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, ability, gender, and gender preference. We welcome singers from any background, and connect them and their families to wrap-around services ensuring that each is on a path to success. We teach job readiness skills, support college application processes and engage them as team members.
One hundred percent of our graduates have been accepted at four-year colleges for 13 consecutive years. Ninety-five percent graduate from college on time. Over 250 alumni are community activists, teachers, social workers, artists, actors, musicians, engineers, military personnel, and finance, marketing and medical professionals. Alumni serve on our Board of Directors and as singers’ advisers, career counselors, and college application mentors.

We know the value of experience and see the impact pioneers have made in the fields of medicine and the medical sciences, especially when it comes to the unique legacy left by women.
Our work perpetuates the legacy these women created through their tireless determination, extraordinary passion, and unmatched fortitude. We will not allow their stories to rust: we use them to build a path to a future still being envisioned, but solidly supported by those who came before. There can be no purposeful future without the perspective of history. We maintain the path behind in order to inspire those forging ahead. WE are becoming a national HUB for the historic records and stories of those pioneering women.
We do this by strategically partnering with organizations that share our passion and commitment to the history of women in medicine and the medical sciences. Our partnerships exist primarily through funding initiatives that fit within our core project areas: oral histories, research fellowships, student scholarships, and processing grants. Additionally, we are proud to recognize an outstanding woman every year with our Alma Dea Morani Renaissance Woman Award.
If you are looking for connections to world renowned women in medicine and the medical sciences, if you are an advocate for preserving history, or if you are a champion of women's leadership, this would be a perfect board role for you.
Board meets quarterly by video call. For more information, please email me at vicki.burkhart@morethangiving.co
