We are excited to begin this new era of leadership grounded in equity, renewed professionalism, and purpose. Our team is committed to strengthening the MOA legacy through collaboration, accountability, and opportunity for all.

 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to outgoing President Pamela Young for her years of dedicated service, leadership, and commitment to excellence. Her contributions have paved the way for continued growth and progress within our organization.

UPDATES:

On Dec 11, 2025 President Wanda Norris along with Vice President

Etta "P!NK"McChristian attended the esteemed Slow-breakers annual scholarship dinner. 

They dined with Founder Malcolm Hemphill who praised the new leadership team and offered support to the Association.

 

Also in attendance were advisory board members Reuben Norris, Ervin "Chilili’" Bonds and Eugene Henry. 

 

MOA along with other organizations has suffered since Covid but we are in a season of growth as we recruit new membership, welcome new partners and work collectively to restore this historical organization in the years ahead.
