Board of Directors.
Charles Ahanonu, RCIC
Board Director
ACSN is led by people who lived the experience the network exists for — students, professionals, and community organizers who needed something like this and decided to build it.
Our Advisory Board contributes sector expertise, governance counsel, and lived experience as ACSN scales. Three seats are currently under recruitment across the tracks below.
Nominations and expressions of interest are welcomed from senior leaders in any of the above areas. Get in touch →
The board combines lived experience, institutional credibility, and operational expertise. Three areas it works across:
Long-range planning, programming priorities, and how ACSN shows up as the network grows.
Financial oversight, risk management, conflict-of-interest protocols, and transparent reporting back to members.
Connections to the cultural institutions, employers, and post-secondary partners that make the programming possible.

If you're a Black professional who wants to mentor a student, a community member who'd lead a peer circle, or a student who'd start a chapter on your campus — let's talk.
Albert handles partnership conversations. Most first meetings are 30 minutes — bring questions, leave with a clear next step.
