Carrboro,
N.C. — Nonprofit organization Musical Empowerment (M.E.) has
recently appointed two passionate professionals as directors on the board.
Marketing Executive Tivi Jones and Music Entrepreneur Cody Lopez will join the
board of directors with a wealth of experience and knowledge that will prove
beneficial for M.E. as it continues to transform the lives of children in the
community.
Tivi Jones is a marketing/communications professional who runs a
creative studio that helps brands use high-tech growth strategies to achieve
SMART goals. She joins the team with over 15 years of experience in building
brand awareness and driving business growth. Not only is she passionate about
confidence-building mentorship for children, but she hopes to use her marketing
expertise and network to boost visibility for Musical Empowerment.
Cody Lopez, who will also be joining the board, will be
utilizing his nonprofit leadership experience from 4-H and College Mentors for
Kids to mentor and empower youth. “I believe that M.E. is on the precipice of a
strong period of growth and success, and my experience leading growth and
programming initiatives in my former role at College Mentors for Kids has given
me the knowledge and exuberance to support M.E. through this period and
beyond,” shared Lopez. Cody is currently the Mid-Atlantic Relationship Manager
with Secured Tech Solutions, a firm that develops partnerships with public
schools to offer problem-solving resolutions for technological needs.
These appointments come on the heels of the organization’s most
recent appointment of Shaun Andrews as board chairman in February. Andrews was
selected to serve on the board for his public education experience, corporate
leadership, conflict resolution, and tech entrepreneurship.
Musical Empowerment is a non-profit that provides free music
lessons and mentorship to underserved kids by pairing them with collegiate
mentors. The organization is based in North Carolina and works with seven
college chapters in NC, NY, and NH. The organization has primarily served
marginalized youth from low-income communities. The relationships between the
mentors and students are mutually beneficial and help both grow their own
confidence, creativity, and commitment to the community.
