HECMA Committees are led by members of the Leadership Team. Our Committees typically meet by conference telephone calls on a monthly basis to develop goals and accomplish the work of the Association. The HECMA Leadership Team may also establish special ad-hoc committees as needed to sustain the function of the Association. Learn more by clicking below.

Name and Contact Brenda Anderson Wadley, diversity@hecma.org Finance CommitteeOf the utmost importance for the HECMA Finance Committee is garnering an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the equitable interests of our membership in partnership with our diversity, equity, and inclusion committee, and membership and recruitment committee. This must center the needs of our Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) members and BIPOC-serving members to ensure that funding for professional growth and support for underrepresented populations is a priority, as we seek to foster an inclusive, accessible, and equitable organization that intrinsically engages in practices grounded in social justice. Work as an advisory committee to develop deliverable and tangible policies and procedures that determine prioritization of spending that align with HECMA’s mission, vision, and goals as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, outline clear fiscal decision-making practices, and determine internal business processes related to spending and reimbursement. Work with other HECMA sub-committees to set goals for corporate sponsorship, identify mission-aligned contributors, and source opportunities for additional revenue building with a purview to providing services and support requested by our membership.
