The work behind the music.
The dancers should get the spotlight. Leadership’s job is to make sure there is a safe rehearsal, a working schedule, a balanced set of books, clear communication, and another performance worth preparing for.

Leadership in service to the program
The officers and co-founders are responsible for governance, artistic and operational direction, finances, records, communication, participation, events, continuity, and the conditions that allow dancers to learn and perform. Their work supports the mission to teach, preserve, enrich, share, promote, and celebrate Mexican culture through dance and music.
Board responsibility remains with the Board
The bylaws place management and corporate powers under the direction of the Board of Directors, even when day-to-day responsibilities are delegated. Standing Finance and Operations committees support that oversight.
Officer duties
The President supervises corporate affairs subject to Board control. The Secretary maintains bylaws, minutes, notices, and corporate records. The Treasurer is responsible for financial records, reporting, receipts, disbursements, and the financial condition of the organization. As Executive Director, directing Maestra, and choreographer, Maria Trenda carries the program’s executive, artistic, instructional, and operational work.
Shared responsibility keeps the door open
Leadership is measured by whether dancers can learn, families can trust the program, instructors can teach, and the organization can carry its mission forward with continuity and care.
Leadership in practice
The mission is carried by people who show up.
Co-founders, officers, instructors, volunteers, and families carry the costumes, paperwork, schedules, music, and practical work behind each rehearsal and performance.
That closeness keeps governance connected to dancers, families and the public-benefit mission Rosas de María exists to serve.
