Meet our Leadership & Board of Directors
UPO’s executives are devoted to our mission and are led by a tripartite Board of Directors: 1/3 are elected representatives of residents with low incomes (all 8 wards have a voice); 1/3 are chosen by DC’s Mayor or Congressperson; and 1/3 are representatives of Major Groups and Interests, elected by the Board.
